Rated 1 out of 5 by from Scotts Coated Grass Seed Bought two 4lb bags of the stuff @ $14. each. Planted seed (not deep) with raked in garden soil, and some starter fertilizer and watered. One bag faired so so, but the second did nothing after 10 days of waiting. Called up Scott's, gave them the product #, sent in the receipt, and 2 weeks later I received a cheque. Went over to CIL seed and never had a problem. I think sometimes stores, like HD put unsold seed away over the winter and bring it back out to sell again in the Spring, so the seed is stale. I will not buy Scott's seed anymore, and always look for a package date when buying seed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely Happy I overseeded my lawn in mid-April. I followed the instructions on the packaging. It took 3 weeks and here it is, mid June and I have a completely filled in lush lawn! Very happy. Hey marketing people, I believe I read somewhere that you can expect results "in as little as 12 days". I believe that boast to be rubbish. You get peoples hopes up with that sort of optimism, I can understand why people trash your product. After reading the previous reviews I too was apprehensive. Happy with the results though.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Could have been the weather however I used this seed after heavily raking my lawn and then applying top dressing. I raked in the Scotts Coated Grass Seed and used about 3 times the amount required. We had a heavy rainfall the next day and perhaps the seed washed away but I'm only guessing. (I can see seed on top of the soiI that is still there) A week later I applied Scotts Lawn Fertilizer For New Grass. I continued to water my lawn twice daily and after 3 weeks I would have to say that after a lot of work and money about 10% of the area has grown new grass. Very disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lush, Green Grass! I purchased a few different types of grass seed. The Scott's Turf Builder Sun & Shade Mix worked the best on my lawn and produced lush, green grass, despite putting it down at the tail end of spring. This grass seed, combined with aeration, and vigilant watering the first two weeks I seeded has produced golf course like grass on my front lawn. Now I just need to sharpen my mower blades :) I will be purchasing more Scott's Turf Builder Sun & Shade Grass Seed this fall, and repeat the aeration/overseed/watering regimen to set my lawn up for continued lush growth next spring.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from No Results I bought this product for my backyard and I watered it daily in the morning. I even used soil as a dressing on top of it. I always find grass growing instantly but this product is a complete waste of money and time, after hard work still no results.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Do not buy I had hoped this product would work. I provided ideal conditions and the seeds dud not germinate. I have tried three bags and had the same result.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My favorite grass seed I am astonished to see the number of bad reviews of this product since my experiences with it over the past 5 years have been very good. I use it for over-seeding my lawn in the spring, and what impresses me most about it is that if the weather is chilly and it doesn't germinate right away, the birds do not seem to go after it as much as they do regular seed. I assume that the fertilizer coating the seed looks or smells wrong, which is why the birds mostly leave it alone. In my experience, as long as we have day-time highs consistently close to 15C, it germinates within 2 weeks and grows nicely, even if I don't get around to using a starter fertilizer with it. I do, however, spread a thin layer of compost before seeding, and use a hand-spreader to make sure it is even. I have to wonder if some of the other posters who say "it didn't grow" forgot to top dress before seeding, or maybe they spread the seed immediately after applying lime.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Tried this twice I bought multiple bags twice because of the reviews online. Both times zero results. I am so dissatisfied. Such a waste of money, water and energy. I have followed all instructions, watered as needed and not one single grass that has grown.... I will just start all over again (third time) but will most probably go with another brand.
