My recommendation: do not buy Scott's new white stuff covered grass seeds.

I used to be an avid fan of any product Scott makes, including seeds, fertilizer, etc etc. I don't buy any other fertilizer right now other than Scott's. But they really messed up with this new white stuff covered seeds. Earlier this Spring I spent > $300 on these new seeds and $250 to rent a slice seeder and not a single grass came out. Note that i have slice seeded before with Scott's and the same method and had no problem. I had a tough time figuring out why the grass never came up and through the process of elimination I have determined it is definitely the new grass seeds that Scott has introduced recently. For example, as soon as I changed to Vigoro seeds and that too in the middle of the summer in small patches that needed repair, the grass came out immediately.

I have no idea what Scott's is doing with their new grass seed, but it definitely doesn't work and I will from now on stay away from Scott's grass seeds. Their fertilizer still seems to work & I will continue with their fertilizer program.

Btw, I am not the only one having problems. I have heard similar reports from couple of friends of mine.

The grass grew very fast with good blade and color. I have uploaded few pics too! Make sure the seeds are covered with soil and always keep the soil moist by watering adequately.
