Very poor results

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The blue "water saving" coating gives you less than half the coverage than the plain grass seed and I found that it does not germinate any better than plain seed, even after watering daily.
I would much prefer the plain non-coated grass seed to this coated seed.

This product worked for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the process of getting my house ready to sell this past summer and Oregon had gone though a major long dry spell. The grass looked awful, dandelions had popped up aggressively and some other weird wild weeds from the green space behind our home and the neighbors house was filling in quickly. Even Moss was taking over the grass in areas of shade.
I took the weekend; hand weeded what I could see, used Scotts Moss control for the Moss and Scotts weed & feed for the weeds still developing that I couldn't see. Then I raked the heck out of it to get all the dry grass, moss and bare patches exposed. I watered it completely and then used the Scotts Turf Builder Grass seed for Sun and shade. It worked and it worked quickly - I followed the package and watered every morning until it was established. I kept the birds away from the seed with a plastic owl but I didn't have to do anything else except mow when it was time. I was very pleased with the result and the people who viewed our home really liked the lawn. I was happy I didn't have to baby the lawn and I could focus on other things to get the house ready. It was picture perfect and we Sold quickly. My Realtor said that the family commented that they wouldn't even have to work on the yard and would just get to set up their outdoor furniture and BBQ right away to begin enjoying it. Perfect!

We're troubled to hear of your experience with our Turf Builder Sun and Shade grass seed! We know how frustrating it is to go through the hard work of seeding, only to see less than stellar results. We have alerted our Quailty Assurance Team to your review so that they may do additional research.
We recommend seeding in your area before September 1st to ensure that the seeds are established before severe cold comes. Exposure to extreme cold can prolong germination and kill off any new seedlings.
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 we can do for you. You may visit our contact page by clicking on the following link http://tinyurl.com/7ag7a3n

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!

I wish I had read what other people wrote about this product. I had my law redone this spring and decided to buy my own seed thinking I would use a better product than the one offered by the landscaping service. What a mistake and waste of money! I bought Scotts sun and shade seed with no results. It is been 4 weeks and nothing spent hundreds of dollars on seed and water bills and nothing. This is the worst product I have ever used; now I have to do it all over.
Pros: nothing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry that you have experienced problems while using Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Sun & Shade Mix. Generally, we recommend seeding in late spring when temperatures are warm not only during the day, but at night also. One major "enemy" of a newly seeded lawn is herbicide. Make sure that no weed control or weed prevention product has been used in the area, as those products will also prevent or inhibit germination. When used on newly germinated lawns, herbicides will kill off the new grass.
