Scotts Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn Sun and Shade, Combination Seed, Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Thickens Thin Grass, 12 lbs.

For the money this is a great product, especially for overseeding. I needed to put down some topsoil in some parts of my yard which grass just has significant problems growing in due to the clay that makes up the majority of the soil where I live.By using this product I'm starting to see the little grasses pop-up from underneath the top-soil and my hope is they will be able to become more established with the overall make up of the different soils. So far so good, grass is picky, but it seems to be taking well for now!

This stuff is amazing. Had dirt I could not grow grass in no matter what I did. Then I tried this. So easy. Put it in a little spreader and walked it around. Did everything - nutrients, fertilizer, and seed all at once. Grass is thick, beautiful, and grows like crazy - almost too much. But am super glad I found this. Can't believe it's my yard.

I spread this last summer and lawn really greened up but this spring there are dead spots. I read the label and saw it contained lots of annual grass seed. I had to overseed with a perannial grass seed. It's good for 1 year but be ready to overseed the second year.

We had to prune some limbs on a Pine tree which left a significant amount of bare ground. This seed is good for sun and shade. I sewed it very heavy and it has come in very well in about a month’s time. As a matter of fact I cut it with a push mower yesterday. I have purchased two more bags because I have many areas that require seeding this year.

Sort of works. Careful prep and high-quality soil yielded disappointing results. Scraggly. Dies easily.

I purchased this hoping it would fill in some bare spots and areas that were thin. I had first dethatched my lawn and then scarified it as well preparing the soil as best I could for the seed. I had delivered from a landscaping company their best lawn soil mixture. I purchased a lawn leveling rake so I could level the lawn from some low spots.I went ahead planted the seed with the fresh soil and leveled the lawn. Kept it watered and in over a month now zero nothing not a blade of grass. I had only used 1/2 of the bag because the area I was covering was around 1000 sq feet and the bag says up to 4000 sq feet so I was planning on reseeding in the fall. It’s laughable to think 4.8 lbs of grass seed will cover 4000 sq feet of lawn when on average they recommend 4-7 lbs per 1000 sq feet for over seeding. So I wasn’t even using half of the recommender area and half the bag so I was well covered.So after a couple weeks I decided I would try a old trick of putting grass seed in my wheelbarrow and grow it under optimum conditions. I went and purchased SCOTTS LAWN SOIL FOR SEED. Keep it in the family I thought. Can’t blame the soil If it’s their ownI went and mixed up a co side table amount of the product with the soil In my wheelbarrow. I watered it and covered it and put in my shed. I monitored it every day and then I decided to bring it out in the sun when the temps went up. It was easy to keep it moist. I have a raised bed vegetable garden a Hosta garden so I am an avid gardener. I love plants and gardening. I have Window boxes I grow flowers in every year so I’m not some rookie who doesn’t understand how grass grows. Grass needs warmth, moisture and direct contact with soil. That’s it the seed will do the rest as it has all it needs to sprout. Keep it moist warm and in contact with soil. Why the wheelbarrow is a great place to jump start seeds. It’s been 18 days and not a single blade of grass. This seems almost impossible unless this bad had no grass seed in it at all. Idk but I looked on the bag and here is what’s included.3.68% Alloy Perennial Ryegrass3.62% Vision Perennial Ryegrass1.85% Bolster Chewings Fescue1.75% Boreal Creeping Fescue.61% Starr Kentucky Bluegrass.61% Dauntless Kentucky BluegrassOther ingredients:87.81% Inert Matter.06% Other Crop Seed.01% Weed SeedThis comes to 12.1% Seed 4.8lbs87.88% Inert Matter 35.15 lbsTotal 40lbsSo they expect us to believe 4.8 lbs of grass seed can fill in your lawn of 4000 sq feet? And if I called and asked them how much grass seed would I need for 1000sq feet I would be told 4-7 lbs to overseed it. So in this bag they put in little seed and tell you it covers 4000sq feet but if you buy straight grass seed you need as much as 7 lbs for 1000 sq feet? Something isn’t right.So I am done with Scott’s grass seed. There so called guarantee. Guaranteed you will look to another company for your lawn care products after using ours.

I spread this over my lawn (just under a quarter of an acre) at the beginning of the season when I re-seeded and put down turf builder and lime pellets. The grass has come up thick, and my lawn has never looked greener.
