Turf Builder Thick'R Lawn Southern Gold Blend, 12 lbs. | For Tall Fescue Lawns, Grass Seeds for Lawns, Grass Seed and Fertilizer, and Soil Improver, Covers 1,200 sq. ft.

Seed geminated quickly and looks good. They state grass will handle the Florida heat, it's winter so jury is out on that. Good is it is surviving in the sand (Florida calls it soil). So far so good

Ez seed southern gold worked great. New construction patchy new lawn, worked great to grow grass in bare spots. Much thicker and greener than rest of yard so going to buy more and get a spreader to improve rest. I likely used too much in the spots I did but it looks great. Have a steep hill yard and had no issues. Was easy to use and get results, and I've never done any yard or garden work before. Took 1-2 weeks, was really nice after 4 weeks. Buying more.

The price was better then local box stores but Lowes put this seed on sale so it was close to the same price. The Amazon seed was delivered quickly and undamaged. The seed label with the expiration date was unreadable but I think I saw it was tested 8 months ago (which was the same as Lowes seed). The Scotts Southern Gold tall Fescue mix worked well for me - better then most years I have been overseeding my fescue for 30 years every fall and sometimes in spring too. In Atlanta it is very hard to keep Fescue from dying out in August- but the last few years the high temp. have been lower and we got more rain but the grubs killed much of my fescue. Why can't grubs eat crabgrass roots. ( a little genetic engineering and we could get grubs to eat only the weed roots instead of only the fescue). Anyway I've used every brand of fescue seed and this is at least a B compared with the others. The most important things to do to prepare the lawn are rake out and remove the thatch, core aerate your lawn before overseeding and buy wheat straw and chop it up with a lawn mower then spread over the lawn after seeding to hold in the moisture. Watering is the most important part. Keep the ground moist. You don't need deep watering just the surface where the seeds are. Keeping the surface wet all day long can be difficult that's why wheat straw helps. Some years I try adding soil or other additives to keep the seeds moist but wheat straw works good and it cheap. I think the wheat straw adds some weeds that have to be dealt with later. The other things I should mention is cut your lawn low just before overseeding and use a starter fertilizer at the time of seeding. This year I try using a hand held broadcast spreader and I liked using it because it helps get the seed where you want it and not clumping up. It is really important to measure you yard I have just about 8000sq. ft. ( a pretty small yard) so needed 2 -20lb. bags of seed and had some left over. The seed must touch the soil and stay slightly damp to germinate. Two weeks out I'm getting some germination better then some years but not great. I think moisture levels, age of seed and prep work are more important then the brand of seed. Make sure you are using fescue if you have fescue lawn. Bluegrass and rye grass won't take the heat in the south. They work in the winter then die in the late spring. That is what Rye grass is meant to do- although I haven't tried it - it is suppose to be quick to germinate but is temporary. Fescue is close to it's heat limit in northern Georgia. Bluegrass is for cooler climates. The best grass is Zoysia but it is expensive and browns out ( goes dormant) in the winter. Plant Zoysia and Bermuda in the spring and Fescue in the fall. Fescue sod is probably a waste of money since it gets weeds and browns out late every summer and has to be overseeded.

It germinates slowly colour is nice green size is right quality is about a 3

Hasn’t helped my grass at all

Pretty successful overall. Not in the spots where my dirt wasn’t tilled and properly prepared. But it will grow if it’s on good soil

Good grass and fertilizer

This product is a lie. First of all, it contains more fertilizer than seed; it looks like freshly harvested rice. And it never germinated in a single spot. I followed all the instructions and kept the soil mulched daily for over a month. It didn't germinate in a single spot. Don't waste your money, your time, or your water.
