Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Tall Fescue Mix with Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Resists Harsh Conditions, 16 lbs.

There are a lot of hates against Scotts seeds on lawncare forums. Admittedly, these are coated seeds, so be aware that only ~50% seeds. So for a 20lbs bag you only got 10lbs seeds (so keep this in mind when comparing with other seeds and in your seeding rates). I got this with a good deal so my price for *actual* seeds is still pretty good, and got the coating for free (i'd like to think they help).I even study the cultivars of these seeds and I think they are pretty good. For mine, it got about 50% in Duration and Nano (which Scotts uses a lot but I cannot find any ratings), and about 50% in Diablos, Thor, and Temple, which are all excellent cultivars in NETP. The grass texture and color are very nice.In my overseeding, I go with a higher seeding rate than the label suggests (which is only 2lbs actual seeds per 1000 sqft, and sounds a bit low unless you lawn is already dense). I cover with compost topdress, light water 2-3 times a day, and the germination rate is very good. The germination is slow though, I don't see anything until near 14 days. I also test without cover and the germination is even slower. So keep this in mind and be patient.I don't have a weed issue (another critism this often gets) as I used with Scotts Triple Action *for seeding* with mesotrine.Overall, I think this is very good seeds. Just be aware that you pay 50% for coatings, and the seeding rate may need to go a bit higher. I would happily buy again if this is on sale.

So far so good. Grass is coming up fast and not under the best conditions. Total shade, undying dog stomping area. It’s coming up just fine so far

I got to say this grass seed is not going to give you everything you would expect from Scott's. For me and my hard work I put into prepping the area to grow this grass, not to mention money spent and time. I can be somewhat pleased because, I do have green grass in a area where there was once dirt. The quality is ok and best to buy on sale. The color is a nice green and I think with some more maturity it will work well. It took 2 weeks to start growing with starter fertilizer and gets watered everyday. However there were some patchy spots where the seeds did not grow. So I had to overseed and pull some weeds up by hand. That was just the back yard. The front yard has taken a different turn. It didn't work as well. The growth has been slow to nothing. I used the same methods same seeds, and don't know what happen. I'm sure I will get it figured out.

This tall fescue grass seed has filled in my patchy lawn nicely. Spreads evenly with a spreader, and germination started in about a week with regular watering. Stays green through heat and drought once established - tough stuff. Covers a good area per bag, and it's resistant to foot traffic. Transformed my yard - happy with the results.

So I purchased this product and it’s frowning however I didn’t realize the actual seeds in the bag were actually like 10% of the bag only. However I need to do something and see if this would work under the Florida sun. Ensure you are watering a lot! Just wish the bag was larger. You can see where the grass is coming in however it doesn’t appear much has taken. I have used 3 bags since. Growth rate is a bit slower than expected, compared to what I have read in the reviews. Color appears to be green I can get more back to you in the fall. We don’t have harsh winters in Florida.

Very slow germination compared to Scott's tall fescue coated seeds that I bought in 32 lbs bags. Unfortunately Amazon doesn't sell 50lbs coated Scott's tall fescue.Pay little more and buy coated seeds.

I know there are a lot of mixed reviews on this grass seed, but I’m telling you I have bought several brands and this by far is the best I’ve ever bought. The grass germinated and started to grow with 8 days. The key is prep your soil and water a couple times a day. Great product

I’m in Alaska, zone 4a. Had my lawn hydroseeded last year ($$$!) and it was not pretty. Purchased the 50lb bag and spread it thick over the sparse or non-existent areas and dang I wish I’d done the whole lawn with it. So much I have another 50lb bag coming to hopefully thicken it up before the first snow flies. Before in a sparse area, after in a completely dead area. Color is rich, very thick, holding up well to the dog.
