What Shoppers Should Know
- Type: Tall fescue mix
- Formula: 2-in-1 grass seed and starter fertilizer
- Bag Size: 5.6 pounds (also available in 16 pounds)
- Coverage: 615 square feet for new lawn, and up to 1,845 square feet for overseeding
- When to Use it: Spring/fall
This 2-in-1 mix combines a starter fertilizer and grass seed into one easy-to-use formula, which, per Scotts claims, grows grass up to twice as fast as seed alone (if you follow the directions and care for the lawn properly). This makes it perfect for fixing patchy spots or thin/problem areas, or just total lawn coverage as an overseed. This 5.6-pound bag can cover up to 615 square feet for a new lawn, and up to 1,845 square feet for overseeding, once temperatures are ideally staying above the 60s—aka spring and fall.
What makes this formula stand out is that it also has fertilizer. With normal grass seed, you have to spread seeds, and then you would likely want to apply a separate starter feed, but this tall fescue mix eliminates the hassle. The seeds get immediate nutrients as they begin to germinate. Tall fescue is hardy, holds up well to foot traffic, and is generally drought-resistant, making it a pretty universal choice, especially in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. Once the ground is past hard frost and temperatures are swinging upward, then you can use it. If not, it still makes sense to buy this now and use it later, as discounts are rare.
