Review: GREAT Product - Would Recommend - This product did wonders on my backyard. I have a large breed dog and water can stand after hard rains, the combo tore up my grass in an area. I was embarrassed as bad as it had gotten. I bought a hand spreader and this seed and after poking holes in the area laid this. It did take a couple weeks to germinate, I was nervous because I had never thrown grass seed down. It is the difference of night and day, would 10/10 recommend
Review: Absolutely amazing. Lawn in under a week! - This stuff is expensive but amazing. I had no plan to do a review on seed but I am so amazed that I have to share Incase anyone else is on the fence. I planted this 4 days ago and it's a lawn already. Mind you it was just a dirt area that is a memorial for my fur baby that passed away. Our city is known for it's clay dirt that literally cracks. The entire back yard is white weeds essentially because we weren't using it - it's so much work to keep that part green like the front. This seed worked magic and started sprouting after 2 days of minimal watering then thankfully a day of rain. The only prep I did was a quick pass with a handheld manual tiller. I'll post pics of the surroundings cracked dirt vs the patch I planted.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what kind of grass seed is in the mix?**
A: Just got my bag 3/22/2021:

9.59% Coda Perennial Ryegrass
9.49% Ambrose Chewings Fescue
8.75% Vision Perennial Ryegrass 
4.82% Wendy Jean Creeping Fescue
4.80% Wildhorse Kentucky Bluegrass
4.79% Oracle Creeping Red Fescue
2.88% Jackpot Kentucky Bluegrass
2.87% Arc Kentucky Bluegrass

.25% Other Crop Seed
.01% Weed Seed

**Q: Is this grass okay for Arizona,s dry climate.**
A: No. The grass is similar to a winter rye grass that that does OK in the cooler winter months, but died in Texas as soon as it got hotter and dry. I would not recommend this grass for any southern hot and dry climate.

**Q: What variety of grass seed is in this mix (i.e. %s**
A: Hi, I am so I can't give you percentages of mix. The seeds are covered with a blue coating of fertilizer, which stays on for about 5 days even watering 3 times a day. This also keeps the birds from eating 20% of it. This is the 5th bag I have ordered as I have 1/3 acre of all weeds and dirt when I recently bought my house. It is an excellent blend and covers very well and spreads out and fills in. I have large areas that get 90% shade and it grows almost as fast as the seeds in full sun. Very happy with this seed. Can't tell you the blend, but it looks beautiful and no weeds at all. The grass comes up fast and full. I think You would be very happy with this product. Sincerely, Mark

**Q: how long does it usually take to germinate?**
A: There is a mixture of varieties of seed in this Blend. Each seed varieties have a different germination rate. Germination (where the seedling breaks out of its seed coat) is as follows with proper soil preparation and the top 1/2 inch of soil kept moist until established. Do NOT just throw seed on bare ground. Most of the permanent seeds will fully establish itself in 6-8 weeks. More below: 

•	Ky Bluegrasses: 14-30 days  (Permanent/Slowest Growing)
•	Creeping Red Fescues: 5-14 Days  (Permanent/Shade/Slow Growing) 
•	Perennial Ryegrasses: 3-10 Days   (Temporary/Fast Growing/Upright)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great for Creating a Fairway Type Lawn for Golf Practice
*by E***S on October 15, 2021*

Update August 2024 I have purchased this same seed for many years and have had good results....until now. The last bag I purchased was in March of this year and have been pretty disappointed. It seems like I am getting more crabgrass, and other weeds I can't identify, in newly planted areas, more than in the past. As I stated in my original review, I only have a small area in my back yard that I try to keep nice. I put down a pre-emergent in the spring to help control weeds, most specifically...crabgrass, and it usually does the trick. I might get an occasional one in later in the summer when it's hot, which is normal, but not like this year. I have been using it to see newly planted areas as well as for over-seeding. It may be that we have more crabgrass this year than in the past, but it's still a potential problem so I have decided to try another brand to see if I get similar or better results. For now, and mainly because my process has not changed, I have changed my rating too four stars. Original Review I live in the country so taking care of my lawn is not a high priority. I do not believe it watering a lawn and cut only when it needs to be cut. I am all about low maintenance when it comes to lawn care. That said now and then repairs are needed and having a good an easy to use dependable seed and one that grows in sun or shade, is a must for me. I have tried a number of different types of seed over the years and came across this brand and mix at a local hardware store and it seemed to work out very well for those occasional repairs and patching projects. It grows fast and fills in pretty thick which helps keep weeds at bay in new areas and over-seeding in the fall seems to help choke out weeds in the spring before they get a chance to take root - for the most part anyway. The summer of 2021 I started to take back up golfing and I practice in my back yard which is about an acre. When using irons it is typical to take a divot which, if you hit as many balls as I do, sometimes 200+ a session, can do some serous damage to your lawn over time. To fix these areas I started using the Scotts Turf Builder Sun and Shade Mix. I decided to create a large area, about 1800 sq ft to use just for practicing. The idea being to practice in one spot then repairing that spot after practice is done and moving to an adjacent spot. I researched the type of seed used for fairways on golf courses and this mix is about the same and seems to work really well. The area varies in the amount of sun and shade and this mix works well in that regard too. I have tried a few methods to do repairs. I tried raking with a stiff rake to loosen the soil then sprinkling the seeds on top and re-raking it with a leaf rake to spread the seed evenly which worked fine, but I found that when watering it's too easy to wash the seeds from one area creating spotty growth. It does fill in eventually, but I wanted a method that would be quicker and guarantee even growth. What seems to work best is to fill any deep holes with soil, put down a soil/seed mix, then cover it a small layer of soil to help retain the moisture and tap it down lightly with my foot. I keep a bucket with a mix of top soil and sand that I use just for this purpose. I water two to three times a day with a hose or watering can with a sprinkler head. This method also works well to repair any urine spots my dog makes. It does require flushing the spot real good with water though to wash away the strong nutrients in the urine. I cut this area with a push reel mower which allows me to cut it real low. Which is another plus to this blend in that it can be cut very low without any problems. However, I normally keep it a little longer in new areas so not to stress the new growth. Since the area is so large area I decided to buy the seed in a larger quantity (20 lb) and found it on Amazon for a real good price. I ended up getting a second bag so I could over seed the area before winter. When over-seeding, I normally just spread it by hand although I have used a hand held spreader too. This worked very well and I was amazed at how dense it was in the spring. Overall I am very pleased with this seed. It is very easy to use, requires minimal maintenance and looks great. If you are looking for a low maintenance seed that is easy to use and grows quickly in sun or shade this will work very well.
