Seeds are mixed with super-compressed mulch which keeps the area moist by retaining water.
This mixture soaks up water just like a sponge and expands to create a protective moist layer around the seed.
Seeds are infused with nourishment and water, so they grow stronger roots that can survive the toughest of conditions. It’s said that this seed mix will even grow grass on the pavement!

Review
To use Scotts EZ Seed – Sun and Shade, first prepare the chosen area by loosening hard soil and removing dead grass which will help tiny seedlings to root.
Apply EZ Seed so that the area is essentially covered, but the bare ground can still be seen (use half the amount of seed in thin areas). Apply only the amount recommended so seedlings will have sufficient space to access nutrients and water.
An initial thorough, deep, watering is essential.
Water the seeded area gently until seeds are completely saturated and can’t absorb any more water (this might take a few minutes). Water the area daily to keep soil surface moist up until seedlings have reached the height of 2 inches.
The best time to apply Scotts EZ Seed – Sun and Shade is during Spring or Fall because seeds germinate fastest when the daytime temperatures fall between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The average days for germination are 5 to 30. Ten pounds of this product will cove 325 feet and 20 pounds covers 445 square feet.
Customers will experience more success with this product if they lightly till the dirt where the mixture will be laid down.
A LOT of watering is crucial!
Although recommended watering chart says once a day, watering it twice a day (unless it rains) can provide superior results. No runoff of mulch occurs so seed isn’t wasted.
Some customers in the lawn care industry add that soil must be properly treated, including using lime on the soil to get proper pH levels, thatching the area, and following watering recommendations exactly.

Scotts does provide a No Quibble money back guarantee [1]. A few very dissatisfied purchasers recommended to other potential buyers that they make their own mix of soil, mulch, and seed for a lot less money.
