Scott's Turf Builder Kentucky Bluegrass Mix for a Lush, Thick Lawn

life-long learner: We had concrete work done and needed some repair to the lawn. Put down some Scott’s Premium Topsoil, sprinkled on the seed, and watered daily. New grass began growing quickly, and is filling in nicely. I didn’t need to cover it with straw or anything, just watered daily. So pleased with the results!

theburge: This seed takes a long time to germinate. This is the natural growth duration for this seed. If planting in the spring it will take a longer time than in the fall due to a cooler soil temperature. Also if planting in the spring/summer make sure you do not pretreat your lawn with a weed and feed as this will prevent the new grass from germinating. It’s also important to mulch over the new seed with pure straw that doesn’t contain weed seeds. Great seed and product used properly. If you want a quick fix fast growing lawn purchase a fescue seed. The disadvantages with fescue is that it grows in clumps where KBG will eventually grow into a weblike woven sod creating a thick lawn. Patience is key with establishing and overseeing with KBG.

Sandy OOP: I order this product every year as I have a very large lawn that I want to make thick. Sometime it takes and sometimes it doesn't as there seems to be tiny weeds instead of grass. BUT, I keep trying. I like the grass color. I could not resist the Big Friday deal on this grass seed, therefore giving it 5 stars. Anyway, I had to patch up the bare spots where I had sprinkled Scott's Turf Builder Weed & Feed (killed my grass - contacted them about it: they never responded!).

Hanh PhamHanh Pham: I had some trouble with my lawn. I started with just soil and dirt and tried Scott’s northeastern seeds that did not work so well but I got a refund from Scott’s . I used the funds and bought Kentucky seeds. I through some seeds on my dirt lawn on 09/28 . It seem to have 80-90% sprouted after a particularly rainy week 2 weeks afterwards. Now in October it starting to fill in . The first photo 10/21 shows the lawn with lots of bare spots ( there’s sprouts but just low). One week later and it has filled out much better. Current temp 40-65 F. I would buy again , it’s just pretty expensive

Lena: Used it to seed a new small size cold season lawn. I am a seasoned gardener and have green thumbs. Practically none of the seeds germinated. Maybe 1-2 % germinated but they too were very weak to begin with. Scotts seeds used to be good but this pack was terrible. All the money wasted.

fishbonefishbone: The grass is coming up, but slowly. Kentucky Blue takes a lot longer to germinate than most grasses, and during that time needs a lot of water. I overseeded my lawn and fertilized a week later, so that the old grass didn't grow and choke out the new seedlings. I wish I had waited two or three weeks, because the new grass is growing, but it has to climb up through tall grass.
In the attached picture, I placed 10 seeds on a piece of paper towel. There are 6 seeds that germinated. KBG seeds are very small, so 60% of the seeds in a bag, is a lot of seedlings. The bare spots in my yard are filling in gradually. The new grass is still a light colored green, but I look forward to seeing it once it matures, and turns "blue". All in all, very satisfied so far.
My process-
Core aerator in two directions (perpendicular)
Spead the seed using a rotary fertilizerv spreader (two directions)
Watered 4 times a day for 10 minutes
Fertilized with "starter" fertilizer a week later
I did mow after two weeks from sowing seed, the lawn was just getting too tall.

I am pretty sure that this is going to work out well. Product was easily within best by date, no...
