Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Sun & Shade Mix, Combination Seed and Fertilizer, Grows Green Grass in Just Weeks, 5.6 lbs.

You have to properly prep for this to work. When I first bought this we raked up the soil, added some top soil then used a spreader. After a week of watering nothing happened. Decided to try again this time raked, added topsoil + compost manure and raked it in. Then spread by hand. Raked it in and spread another layer on top that we lightly raked. I've been watering 3-4x a day and am on day 6, there's so much growth. It's filling in beautifully. Wish I'd understood the prep part sooner, we'd have a full lawn by now. Absolutely worth the money.

This product is the real deal, prepping is important and even more important is in my opinion is to overseed your area, I noticed the more thicker areas do very well as opposed to spreading it out more, the grass burns more easily in the sun. I wanted to stretch it out to cover more area but regretted doing so.

Seed was laid down and top soil on top on April 5th. Second picture, April 24th. Sprinkler was set to water 1 minute every 1.5 hours from 9am to 5pm.Overall seems good. Not all is growing yet. It's been cooler than usual with temps in the day in the mid 70s. Night at around 50s. We had few days in the low 80s.I do wonder how it will hold up for the next few years.

I really did not think any grass seed would make grass grow. We live in Virginia in the woods where all the ground is pretty much clay and or dust or weeds. In the first photo, you can see the middle of the yard with lots of balding and bald spots. The entire center of the yard was dust or mud when it rained. This grass seed works wonders. We tilled the ground, threw seed, threw a bit of hay and set up 3 sprinklers on a timer for watering 3 times a day. This is one month later. Growing strong. Good fast growing seeds. Quick delivery.

1/3 of bag is inert material. So in other words you are paying for junk that is nothing more than filler to make the bags full. Not worth it.

Rapid Grass works amazingly well and had a lawn back in a few weeks. We had a problem area from last season with grubs along with mowing too short and fertilizer that really burnt out the lawn. This seed took off fast with some lawn soil and watering. Very happy with the results!

Let me tell you a story. A story of hope, excitement, and ultimately… grass-less despair.I was pumped when this arrived. “Grows green grass in just weeks,” it said. “Sun & shade mix!” Perfect! I had just the spot in my yard, a patch of land that had seen better days. I even imagined my 8-year-old running barefoot through the lush, green grass, laughing in slow motion like a stock photo.I followed the instructions like a lawn-cultivating monk. I aerated. I raked. I gently whispered encouragement to the soil. I evenly spread HALF the bag—because, you know, science. I watered it religiously, monitored the weather like a farmer, and waited.And waited.And waited some more.Spoiler alert: Not. One. Blade. Grew.At first, I thought maybe I overwatered it. Then I thought maybe I underwatered it. Then I started Googling, “Can you curse grass into existence?” because I was officially in denial. After two weeks, the only thing growing was my frustration and one very smug-looking dandelion that seemed to be mocking me from the side.I even bent down at one point and thought I saw a sprout. Nope. Just a weirdly shaped pebble.So now I’m left with half a bag of what I can only assume is very expensive brown confetti and a completely bald patch of lawn that now serves as a monument to disappointment. My child asked if we could paint the dirt green so it “looks like something is happening.”Unless your goal is to throw money directly into the ground and watch it not grow, I’d stay far, far away from this product. Consider donating your cash to your local nursery instead—or better yet, just tape some green construction paper to your yard.Thanks, Scotts, for teaching me that sometimes, dreams really do dry up and blow away with the wind.

I had an area next to my driveway that is under an oak tree that is almost 100% shade, so I gave this a go for the bare area. I used aerator boots before I put this down, very slightly overseeded with it, then ran the sprinklers for about a minute, just to soak it in. I started to see growth within a week, so I'm going to add some of this in my backyard around my grill.
