Product Description
Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Bermudagrass is great for lawns challenged by long periods of scorching Southern heat and drought. This blend aggressively spreads to grow a thick, durable lawn. In addition, each seed is wrapped in a unique 4-in-1 WaterSmart® PLUS Coating to keep seed moist 2X longer than uncoated seed, feed to jumpstart growth, and protect against disease. Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Bermudagrass is designed for full sun, and has a fine bladed texture with high drought resistance. It can be used to seed a new lawn or overseed an existing lawn. For best results, apply in the late spring or early summer when air temperatures are consistently between 70°F and 90°F and the danger of frost has passed. We recommend using a Scotts® spreader to apply this product (please refer to spreader settings on product label). Water daily or as needed to keep the soil surface moist until the seedlings reach at least 2 inches tall. One 5 lb. bag of Scotts® Turf Builder® Grass Seed Bermudagrass has a new lawn coverage of 1,665 sq. ft. and an overseeding coverage of 5,000 sq. ft.

Facts:
Dropped seed Sunday, September 24, 2023, 5 pm
Grass was visible 2 days later
90 degrees high temperature
80 degrees low temperature
Humidity was 90% each day
Photograph is 5 days after September 24, on September 29
Second photograph is 5 weeks after seeding, Saturday, October 28, 2023
How, using common sense skills:
1. Corona Cultivator to break up soil and make fluffy
2. Dropped slow release fertilizer (20-6-9)
3. Dropped grass seed at double rate since grass germinates at 85% per manufacturer label
4. Watered using gentle shower 🚿 nozzle to settle grass seed naturally to make soil contact, 5 minutes slow and gentle
5. Dropped peat moss at thin layer (1/2" depth)
6. Watered using gentle shower 🚿 nozzle to settle, 5 minutes gentle and slow
7. Hand compact tool to firm ground and make soil contact, light pressure to level, tool did the work.
Next watering cycle was in morning 9 am.
Watering cycle:
9 am, 1 pm and 5 pm, 30 minutes each time total
Water drops must make each seed wet and this means full coverage with watering sprinklers
Results:
2 days, grass was visible
5 days, grass was at golf course green height, probably a tenth of an inch
7 days, 90% coverage
Will continue to water daily for 3 weeks and then cut at 2 inches height. Winter will slow down growth, spring will water three times per week, Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, 30 minutes each time.
Manufacturer label instructions are accurate and can be trusted, 100%.

Scotts gave me my money back as their guarantee on back states.
Along with a lengthy letter that details tips on how to get better results. I did everything and more that was necessary including having my sprinkler system set to water the 4 zones affected 6 minutes per zone 7 days per week, unless we had a rain day. Cost me about $225 in a water bill for 4 weeks. But nothing. They claim you have to keep the soil constantly damp and sometimes water it 2 to 3 times per day every day in a fairly narrow band of temperature. I can only figure, in spite of my expenditure for watering, it may have had to be less water more often than watering each night once per day. I don't know. However, having done some sod work in a small area last year, that was a heck of a lot cheaper and was a no brainer for patching. Of course if you are going to do an entire yard with this seed, you better be prepared for one heck of a high water bill.
I plan to be very fair about this review and will update it if I see any future success. So far, I'm having none. I spread the seed in a dozen or so areas that I put fresh soil and fertilizer in spots on my bermuda sodded lawn that for some reason were doing poorly. I dug up some of the old soil, and patched in areas with new soil and then seeded. I set a water program with sprinkler system to water 4 minutes each for the seeded zones starting about 5 weeks ago, around March 1st. Theoretically, within 3 weeks, the grass should be long enough to stop the daily watering. From what I'm seeing, nothing is happening. I am now running an experiment on 4-15 where I put some seed in potting soil where I can water a bit daily and see first hand if the seeds will grow in a "Petri Dish" type experiment. I live in north TX and the weather since March 1st has been a bit chilly at night and we had a couple of days of decent rain. Most of my lawn is fully awake and nice and green but the areas that I've seeded that are seriously struggling. Mostly the grass that is growing in the patches is from existing grass that is either coming across or growing in from underneath. Not from the seed. I will report back in a couple of weeks if I see any progress anywhere from the seed. If not, I will ask for a refund as the bag says the warranty the product.
Update 4-22
Added pic 1. After 7 days in pot with potting soil and keeping moist every day, and outside in nice spring TX weather, as you can see, nothing happening at all with growth. Stay tuned for update in another week.
Update 4-25
In my prior paragraph I showed how still no growth in a pot. But now I do have growth. So 10 days and I have growth in a pot but no growth outside. Now bear in mind the directions show to use a spreader to spread the seed, which means on top. The only thing I did different was to plant the seeds a half inch down in potting soil and they grew. But lets face it, this is not a good scenario for a yard. If you have to plant it a half inch down to get it to grow, that stinks for a yard. So I went to all the areas I seeded and used a hand tool to rake up the soil some and reseed and then plant them under the soil a bit. That's a lot of work. It's not bad for spot seeding but it would stink for a whole yard.
So I can't really poop on the seed for a failure per se since it grows, but for it's application, I would say don't buy it if you're using a spreader. I may actually pursue a refund.
