Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Tall Fescue Mix with Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Resists Harsh Conditions, 5.6 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.

It's grass seed, yeah, it's finicky. If you are serious about grass, I recommend this highly. The best I have used in 40 years. Yeah, you might have to water it 5 times a day, pay more for a coated seed (at least the birds won't eat it), and use all of your acquired skills, but I guarantee you'll be impressed. I live in Massachusetts, other areas might be different.

Seems like a good seed for price.

This seed germinated well for us. We used it in areas that were void of grass. We followed the instructions on the bag and it all worked out well.

It worked OK but grass came up very slowly nd quite sparse

This product is horrible. I used this seed in early spring and fall. None of those time grow single grass . What a waste of money and time.

The best grass seed I’ve ever used. Comes up quick . It’s a beautiful dark green !!

Highly recommend Tall fescue for north east lawns , they grow deep roots so are drought resistant, they are disease resistant as well, True Green tipped me off to use this type of seed , Best time of year to seed is fall , water 3 times a day for only a few minutes, make sure soil just gets moist but not too saturated, before and after pics about 3 weeks apart
