Scotts 17541 EZ Seed Patch and Repair Centipede Grass, 3.75 lb

Great value

There are very few seeds in this package mostly peat moss. No matter how I planted the few seeds did not sprout. In pots or directly in small trenches on the ground that had been fertilized. Very poor product.

Most of the seeds didn't germinate because I didn't loosen the soil first.

I used this product to fill in some bare spots on my lawn. South Carolina has some harsh climate conditions (mostly the intense heat from the sun) , and so after trying quick-fix seed and it burned up after a season, decided to give this Centipede mixture a try. It states that normal germination is from 10-28 days. Guess what, I noticed that some seeds germinated after six days, probably due to above 70 degrees, even at night, and profuse watering. I don't believe the soil type is important but the keeping wet of the seeds is. Simply put it worked for me, even though you don't get that much coverage. As I write this review some of the last seeds are still coming up, and it's looking greener everyday with proper watering.

I was so excited to find this product from Scott's. Being from the South, I know how hard it is to grow Centipede grass successfully. And how few products are available to help you. I had a small area and several spots where my centipede just wasn't filling in and I didn't want to have to buy rolls of sod to fill it so I was really hopeful when I found this on Amazon. I have done everything that I was supposed to do to get this seed to grow. I turned the dirt over and removed rocks, I covered the areas with new compost/dirt, and I sprayed the areas with water before spreading the seed. I have made sure to keep the seed moist and free of debris/weeds. The seed did not spread easily from the container because the opening is too small causing it to spread unevenly. After about 2 months or so very little grass sprouted. It wasn't enough to make much of a difference. I tried this product 3 times with the same results. Very disappointed.
