Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to review the Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Sun Shade Mix, and I have to say, I m impressed. This product is designed to help you establish new grass, and it does so in just weeks. For such a simple product, Scotts has gone the extra mile to make sure it works as advertised.

The product is a combination of grass seed and fertilizer, specially formulated to help grass seed germinate quickly and easily. It is designed to be used in both sun and shade, so it is perfect for areas with variable light levels. It also works in both spring and fall, so it can be used throughout the year.

I found the product to be very easy to spread. It comes in a 16 lb bag that covers 8,000 sq. ft., which is more than enough for my needs. I was able to quickly and evenly spread the product, and it adhered to the soil well.

The product also contains fertilizer, which is designed to help the grass seed germinate faster. I was impressed with how quickly I saw results. I applied the product at the new lawn rate and within 12 days, I had grass growing. By the 21st day, it was already starting to look lush and green.

I also found the product to be very cost effective. I was able to find it for a reasonable price and it lasted quite a while. I used it to cover a large area, and I still have plenty of product left over.

Overall, I was very pleased with the performance of the Scotts Turf Builder Rapid Grass Sun Shade Mix. It was easy to apply, cost effective, and most importantly, it worked quickly. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to establish a new lawn or to fill in bare patches in their existing lawn. It is a great product that I would definitely use again.
