Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Southern Gold Blend for Tall Fescue Lawns is a revolutionary grass seeding product bred in the south for the south, and designed to fill in bare spots on your lawn. This product grows in tough conditions, including full sun, dense shade, high traffic areas, and on slopes. It consists of high performance grass seed, continuous release lawn food, and super-absorbent growing mulch material. Includes a tackifier to help reduce seed wash-away and a protectant to help keep seedlings safe from harmful diseases. There are three easy steps to success: 1) prep the area by removing dead grass and loosening hard soil, 2) evenly apply EZ Seed so the area is mostly covered but bare ground is still visible, and 3) saturate with water until no more water is being absorbed and mulch turns dark brown. Plant seed in the spring or fall when daily average soil temperatures are consistently between 60 Deg F and 75 Deg F, or air temperatures between 65 Deg F and 85 Deg F.
