How many square feet does one bag cover?

Each bag covers up to 1,500 sq. ft. Keep in mind that it’s not designed for planting a yard from scratch or filling in large bare patches, but instead should be used to thicken up an existing lawn.

Which climates can use this product?

Our Sun + Shade formula contains seed cultivars designed to thrive in northern and transitional climates. It's best in yards that have full sun to medium shade.

How do I apply it? How often?

Apply using a hand spreader or broadcast spreader at a rate of 10 pounds /1,500 square feet. You can apply every 6 weeks during the growing season, up to four times per year.

When is the best time to apply Sun & Shade Seed + Feed?

We recommend applying in the morning or evening. This ensures you’re applying at the least stressful time of day and are able to water fertilizer and seed efficiently.

Should I treat my entire lawn?

Yes. For best results, apply across your entire lawn to ensure uniform application.

Can I use this if I’m already growing another grass type?

As long as you have a cool-season lawn, you can use across your existing lawn. We don't recommend using on warm-season lawns.

How long will it take to germinate or see results?

You should begin to see deeper greening and germination in 8-21 days, so long as the product is applied correctly and watered to germination properly. We recommend keeping the soil moist but not saturated until new grass reaches about 2 inches in height, and then returning to deep and infrequent watering practices.

What impact does weather play on growth/yield?

Weather can hinder seed germination success if extreme weather, like a late freeze or heat wave, set in. We recommend only applying in stretches of weeks where the ideal temperature for cool-season seed germination is maintained (60-75 degrees F).

What's in it?

This blend includes four types of grasses, including tall fescue, fine fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and perennial ryegrass.

Can I use this if I’m already using another fertilizer product?

You only need to wait two weeks between the applications of Sun & Shade Seed + Feed and Sunday liquid nutrients. We don't recommend utilizing both Seed + Feed with other fertilizers at the same time. Applying two types of fertilizer together can cause overfertilization or damage to actively growing grass. If you are switching between Seed + Feed and other Sunday fertilizers, wait at least 6 weeks between applications.

What is the difference between Sun & Shade Seed + Feed and Bare Repair?

Sun & Shade Seed + Feed is only recommended for overseeding. Bare Repair is ideal for patching bare or other thin areas in the lawn. Seed + Feed products are made of fertilizer, soil conditioner, and grass seed—and recommended for overseeding across existing lawns, not new lawns or bare soils. Bare Repair is a combination of seed, fertilizer, and mulch, and is ideal for patching bare soil or other thin areas in the lawn.

Safe re-entry time for pets? For people?

Pets and humans can use areas as soon as products are watered in.

Are there any US states or territories where this product is not approved for use?

Sun & Shade is approved for use and distribution in all states. Special registrations for CA, FL, and PA.
