Awesome grass fertilizer. I only buy Scott's for 30 years. It's perfect. Works great as it should. Grass is so much thicket and greener. It grows very fast now. Perfect. Highly recommend.

Because it heard the drinks were on the house! Okay, enough silliness—let's get back to business.

Better options are available. I wouldn't recommend this product not because there is something wrong with it, just because I found better options. I had a lawn that was sodded at the beginning of the sod growing season and was struggling. I did a couple of things that REALLY helped. 1. Mow your lawn VERY short and catch all the clippings. 2. I dethatched the lawn. I used a dethatcher like this one: Truper 32120 Tru Tough Thatching Rake, Wood Handle, 54-Inch to get all of the dead grass removed from the lawn. It was a lot of work for my small yard, but there are larger, powered versions available. It also has an aerator, which brings me to part two... 3. Aerate the lawn! I used this little device to aerate the lawn: Yard Butler IM-7C Spike Aerator. You can also use an automatic one, like the one listed above if you have a larger lawn. This makes little pods for your new seeds to live 4. Overseed the lawn. I used Pennington 100086830 Smart Seed Tall Fescue Premium Grass Seed Blend, 3-Pound. I would advice AGAINST buying the "all-in-one" mixes just because you have less control over the process. If you want to be shocked at how LITTLE seed is actually in your product that is all in one. Just buy the seed and starter fertilizer separate. Use a spreader (I used this one: Scotts Easy Hand-Held Broadcast Spreader to make sure that it was spread evenly. 5. Add a Starter Fertilizer. I used this Vigoro starter fertilizer from Home Depot/ 6. Add in Milogranite [often! This stuff is amazing. I wouldn't buy on Amazon, since you can get it cheaper locally, but Milogranite is amazing. It will make your lawn nice and dark green. It also won't burn your lawn. 7. Water every day. Make sure that the soil stays wet. I simply watered a couple minutes in the morning and evening. Even better, get a Rachio (Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller, WiFi, 8 Zone 2nd Generation, Works with Alexa) to do all this the easy way. I'll write a review soon. 8. Wait. It will take a couple weeks, depending upon conditions to grow your new grass. I'm about to finally cut my grass, several weeks later and I'll post before and after photos.
