Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Bermudagrass with Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Drought-Tolerant, 1 lb.

I live in southern Arizona where the sun scorches you to death in the summertime. These little seeds have started to grow and rather quickly too... About 5-8 days. The grass is super green and thick but I just hope it can stay alive during the scorching heat this summer.

Works as advertised Great product and grows fast.

Planted last fall, I see it starting to come up just now, I will review it again later. Got to give it a chance. Scotts products have always preformed well for me, so I suspect this will also.

I wish I could leave zero stars. Seed did not sprout 1 blade of grass. It was fed too but it was obvious this was old seed and never had a chance to grow. I took a chance with amazon instead of buying retail, and paid the price. Beware of the risk.

Every single 1 lbs bag claims that it will cover 1000 sq ft. I have a trench that I dug to bury conduit and it measures about 130 ft long and because of disturbance about 2 ft wide. This means overall square footage is 260 square ft. With edge guard Scott's spreader shoots out about 3ft so I was expecting to walk on one side of the trench, turn around and walk back on other side of the trench. Total square footage of doing that should be 780 square feet. Color me amused that in expecting to walk the trench 4 times (ergo buying 4 bags), I very quickly realized that stated square footage is ridiculously overstated. Using 4 bags I barely walked trench 130 ft one way and about 60 ft the other way. This means total seed coverage spread is 570 square feet for 4 1 lbs bags. Bags claim to would have covered 4000 square feet. This means that actual coverage is 7 times less than stated. This means each and every 1 lbs bag actually covers 142 square feet which is a far cry from 1000 square feet stated. And so I just ordered another 4 bags. For those interested on the bag it says to set your dial to 3.5 on the spreader. That seems to be very adequate so you are not wasting seed... it is just not covering what it said it should. Also if this is your first time spreading, do not hold lever when you start moving. Hold lever after you have already moved because the way spreaders are designed is they immediately drop seed so you need to be moving for it to spread, otherwise it will dump a pile of seed in 1 spot. I dropped a very small pile as a test.

Good stuff

Great for filling in dead spots in my lawn.
