Response from ScottsBy James, Scotts Consumer Service, June 10, 2016
We apologize for the lack of results from using our product. Going through the effort of preparing and reseeding an area only to have disappointing results is certainly frustrating. We have sent your comments as well as comments from other reviewers to our Quality Assurance Department to investigate any issues. We also have some seeding tips to offer that have been helpful to some of our consumers.
Watering is critical and keeping the soil moist for the germination phase is required. It's also important for the seeds to be in direct contact with the soil. When overseeding, this may mean having to rake over the seeded area. Soil temperatures should be at least 55 degrees for proper germination and using most herbicides or weed controls can interfere with the new growth.
We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please contact us to see what can be done. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link: http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

Grew grass where there was none for years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use. Blue color is easy to see where you may have missed. And birds do not seem to be attracted to the color.
Took a little longer to germinate than stated. But could be because of a colder than usual spring.

Response from ScottsBy DeMario, Scotts Consumer Service, June 13, 2016
We apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced when using the product. This particular product usually has a lot of success stories from users, but it is helpful when we get reviews like yours to help us produce quality product. Here are a few tips to consider when growing in the future. For Cool Season grasses like Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and different types of Fescues soil temperatures must be at least 55 degrees (+12.7 Celsius) for grass seed to germinate and can take between 4 -21 days to see germination. Warm season grasses like Bermudagrass, Centipede and Zoysia, which germinates in early summer, requires soil temperatures between 75 - 90 degrees (24 - 32 Celsius) and can take between 5-28 days to see visible germination. Watering also plays a defining factor in germination. We recommend watering 1-2 times a day until germination is visible and then watering 1- 1 ½” per week as needed. Both excessive watering and not enough watering can slow down or even stop germination of the product. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5 and one of our representatives would be glad to assist you. We hope this issue has not caused you to lose faith in our product, as we use reviews like yours to maintain and improve the quality product that you and other consumers have come to know and love.
