## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anybody know what type of grass seed this is?**
A: The one I got from Amazon was 14.64% Endeavor II Tall Fescue, 14.63% Faith Tall Fescue, 14.62% Gazelle II Tall Fescue, along with 4.85 Wendy Jean Creeping Red Fescue. 0.01% were weed seeds with no noxious weeds found.  50% of the ingredients were the coating, 1% inert, and 0.25% was other crop.

The batch I got in a 3-lb bag from my local Ace Hardware was 17.06% Endeavor II Tall Fescue, 17.05% Duration Tall Fescue, and 14.63% Gazelle II Tall Fescue.  The 7-lb bag there was 17.06% Gazelle II Tall Fescue, 17.05% Endeavor II Tall Fescue, 9.74% Faith Tall Fescue, and 4.89% Dynamic II Tall Fescue.

I'm undecided as to how I feel about that bit of creeping red in there, but I'm a little happier with the locally bought mixes versus the one from Amazon.

**Q: Can I use this along with fungicide, pre-emergent, turf builder (all Scott's, of course)?**
A: Be careful.. Do not use new seed if there is any pre emergent or weed killer in the soil.  Some of those products stay in the soil for months and will stifle growth .  Got this info from Scott's.

**Q: The area i plan to plant this in gets zero sun will it still grow in thick and full**
A: It work ok for me but still not great my area has very limited sun. Less than the 3 hours a day limit that that use as a guide. So I am still looking for a good seed in full shade my self.  Were you have zero sun i would say it wont work  maybe someone else has had better success than I ?

**Q: How much does 3 lb bag cover**
A: It really depends on how thick you sow it.  I did an area about 12'x4' plus a smaller area 6'x3'.  It came up fairly thick and did ok until late summer.  The next spring it was pretty thin.  This was the only seed I've had any luck with under 50 year old trees, but it took a lot of watering to get it started.  I just decided it wasn't worth the cost and effort after planting it two years in a row.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best to buy
*by D***  on June 14, 2025*

Growth rate was massive, pack yard covered with greenness, very quality and affordable, I recommend this to everyone

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miracle Seed
*by J***C on April 11, 2022*

I am going out of my way to write this review as I am not a horticulturist. My EX landscaper put down crabgrass germination inhibitor in the spring. This, I learned, inhibits the germination of ALL seeds. My lawn was looking "tired" so I waited until the fall before laying this seed. It would not germinate. I watched the seed seem to turn to mulch over the winter. To my joy and surprise every place I seeded a half a year earlier germinated. Thick, green and healthy. No waste at all. Beautiful and amazing. I live in northern New Jersey to give perspective. I still have half a bag. Scary good stuff. I have wasted so much money over the years on garbage seed. Buy this and have your mind blown.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ RIGHT WEATHER AND RIGHT TIME
*by R***K on May 7, 2021*

This is a dense shade grass seed. It requires a minimum of 3 hours of sunlight a day to properly germinate. If the shade area you are treating does not allow for this minimum amount of sunlight, chances are the seed will not germinate and in time rot in place.Read the instructions on the back of the seed package carefully. Do as it instructs. Keep the reseeded area lightly watered. Do not apply too much moisture.If you follow the package instructions and care for the seeded area as suggested, then I think you have a 60% chance of new grass.Good luck.
