Terrible dandelion weeds
on June 2, 2024
Posted by: Elsa
I bought two bags of this 2 months ago and sowed it in my backyard. My backyard was clear of weeds and was having black mulch before we turned the soil ready for sowing. But after sowing, in a week dandelions started to grow rapidly as if I was sowing dandelion seeds instead of grass. A few grass popped up too but now my backyard is full of dandelions and it looks terrible. I went through the ingredients in the bag it says .1% weed seeds but my bags had 90% dandelion weed seeds. I need compensation for this mishap. I used half from both bags and I still have half left in both of them. I have pictures and videos of the backyard before and after use.

Turf Builder Rapid Grass Sun & Shade Mix but there are 2 feet of snow on the ground right now. Unless there is a massive Global Warming event I'm at least 45 days away from seeding.

It Works

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did see this product on a lawn in the neighborhood but I received this product way too late in the season for me to plant in my yard. Weather here is in 90's until September and way to hot to plant grass. I will use this in the fall and plant then. It did work good for the yard in the neighborhood.

If It can Grow In Hot Las Vegas Heat It Can Grow
on June 4, 2021
Posted by: Guitarstar
from Las Vegas Nevada
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Scotts Rapid Grass- Sun & Shade to fill in bare spots & reseeding front & rear yard lawn sections. Wow! both have successfully grown in the heat of Las Vegas in Sun & Shade. This is only 3 weeks after seeding , you can see results. Now we are in 107 degree heat in early June & Scotts Sun & Shade is performing exceptional. No Burning or Wilting, this is robust new growth along the driveway edges & the rest is a thickened lawn where I reseeded applying Scotts Sun & Shade 3 weeks ago in early May. If it grows here it will perform for you. My only challenge is getting up & out at 5 AM every day to chase the Pigeons & Doves away & of course watering to start new growth. I use a hand rake to gently turn the soil so the seed is in soft dirt then water it in. For the Main Lawn Scotts is taking very well providing a thicker lawn you can see & feel when walking on it just a little. This is also choking out a horrible Bermuda Grass on the front which is a relentless weed. 97% of my lawn is Tall Fescue.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I planted this grass seed in some bare spots in mid May and it filled in right away as advertised. I kept it watered which helped but I have done that with other seed- this seemed to work better. Just make sure it matches your grass.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still undecided, went on vacation and left instructions to continue watering, was hot and not enough water put on. We reseeded a week ago and we have gotten over 13 inches of rain and area was inundated with water and washed some of the dirt away. So will try again in July.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this package Shiva couple weeks ago and had great results to a thick green grass
It was very easy to use and when applying it seem like I didn’t need to water as much compared to conventional Seeding Methods
