Scotts Turf Builder Grass Seed Bermudagrass with Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Drought-Tolerant, 8 lbs.

Works great. Planted in 90 degree weather and no issues. I think the key was having an automatic sprinkler that went off every hour for 2 minutes. It kept the ground moist, but no standing water. Had bought this same product a few years ago and had no success. But, I was new to caring for grass and didn't realize how much water is needed. I suspect the majority of negative reviews comes from lack of watering. It says it will cover 8,000 sqft and I suspect that is accurate. I overseeded as I'm new to growing seed and had low confidence, but it looks like a waste now. Grass is coming in really thick. Which seems like overkill for Bermuda as it seems to spread easily on it's own. Not as important as watering, but I suspect another issue is people aren't tilling the ground enough. I don't know this for sure, but suspect the small plants would have trouble with roots if the ground is tight. I tilled it with a pick axe (ton of work) and then raked it smooth. After the ground was lose and smoothed out, then put the seed down and very gently took a leaf rack (yard broom) to help nudge the seed into a slight bit of soil. Only hard part was tilling the earth. A tiller is a really good idea for this if you don't need the exercise.

Bag had a hole in it. Seed from box went all over floor. Hopefully what is left will grow this spring.

Added this to a thin direct sun area of our new yard in hopes of thickening it up. Watered consistently and I don't see a bit of difference. It doesn't look like any of the seeds sprouted. I'm not sure if seed goes bad, but I put it out within a month of purchase.

This worked surprisingly well! I did get a lot of clovers though. We watered the grass alot for the first month

All good
