I've been doing wrong
For the last several years I've been overseeding every fall with tall fescue and only tall fescue because that's what some guy told me to use and come springtime my lawn looked just ok. I thought I was doing something wrong and wanted better results. Turns out a little bit of perennials rye, creeping red fescue and a touch of that Kentucky blue really thrives in my area. I can honestly say because of this grass seed my lawn has never looked better. before purchasing this grass seed, I tested out a couple different Scotts grass seeds in small flowerpots with soil from my yard and the fall mix outperformed the other grass seed.

    No Grass
    I applied this seed 10 days ago after dethaching aerating and top dressing with compost. Day 10 and still not a blade of grass has popped up. Very disappointed with this product and will not rely on “fall seed mix” again.

    Laura128, we're sorry to hear Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Fall Mix didn't germinate for you. It can take several weeks for all the grass seed in this mix to germinate. For best results, day and nighttime temperatures should be consistently between 60-80 degrees. Reach out to us here for assistance with our product guarantee: https://tinyurl.com/y8nvfsca
      Don’t waist your money
      3 weeks ago I have seeded it and watered as directed 2 times a day. You can see the results.

        Very disappointed
        Bought a bag of Scott's fall grass seed. In the northeast best time to get your lawn ready for winter and next spring around mid September. After de-thaching, aerating, and fertilizing the soil I put a good amount of seed down. So so upset to see all my hard work was ruined by this Scott's fall seed. As you can see, from what did come up its mostly cloves (weeds)! Now what? I'll have to either try to rip it all out now or wait till spring. This might be the last time I buy Scott's.

          We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Fall Mix and appreciate your feedback.

          The seed likely has gotten wet at some point and mold found a way into the wet environment in the bag. Spores, the source of mold/fungus, are everywhere, but they usually remain inactive in dry conditions. When the product is produced, it is filtered up to 8 times. This typically eliminates 99.99% of all contaminants. These are the cleanest standards in the industry. As a result, it is highly unlikely that the product would be contaminated with insect eggs.
