Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun & Shade 10 lb — patch mix with expanding mulch and continuous-release fertilizer for quick bare-

Scotts EZ Seed Patch & Repair Sun and Shade is an all-in-one patching mix that lays down seed, mulch, fertilizer and protection to quickly fill bare spots in sun or shade.

If a sprinkling of brown patches, pet-wear or thin areas is making your lawn look tired, this 10 lb bag combines high-performance grass seed with expanding mulch, continuous-release lawn food, a tackifier to reduce washout and a seed protectant to encourage successful germination. The Sun & Shade blend is formulated to handle varying light conditions, foot traffic and slopes, letting you repair trouble spots without overseeding the entire yard.

How do I use EZ Seed Patch & Repair to fix a bare spot?

Prepare the damaged area by removing loose debris and loosening compacted soil so seed-to-soil contact is maximized. Broadcast the mixture to mostly cover the spot while leaving some bare ground visible, then water until the mulch darkens and no more water is absorbed.

• Clear dead grass, thatch and debris first for best contact.
• Loosen soil with a rake or garden fork to a depth of about 1/2 inch.
• Apply evenly — one 10 lb bag covers up to 225 sq ft.
• Water thoroughly until mulch darkens; keep consistently moist until 3" height.

When will I see new grass and what conditions work best?

Germination timing depends on soil temperature and moisture; plant in spring or fall when average soil temps are 55–70°F. Keep the seedbed consistently moist and protect seedlings from heavy traffic until the new grass reaches about 3 inches tall.

• Best planting: daily soil temps 55–70°F or air temps 60–80°F.
• Expect visible sprouting within the typical timeframe for the seed type under proper moisture.
• Avoid frost risk and prolonged drought during establishment.
• Keep pets, kids and mowers off until grass is established.

Will this mix survive shady areas and high-traffic spots?

The Sun & Shade formula blends varieties selected for tolerance to both reduced light and wear, plus the mulch and fertilizer support young plants through early stress. While no seed will thrive in deep, permanent shade without improving conditions, this mix performs well in mixed light and moderately used lawns.

• Includes varieties rated for dense shade and full sun situations.
• Tackifier reduces seed wash-away on slopes and during heavy rain.
• Continuous-release lawn food helps seedlings compete with weeds.
• Protectant helps mitigate early seedling disease risks.
