Shade-Sun Mix Tested: Seed, Fertilizer, Mulch Combo Wins Lawn We were skeptical when we first opened the Scotts PatchMaster Sun + Shade Mix, but we were pleased with the simplicity. The 4.75-lb bag combines grass seed, slow-release fertilizer, and mulch in one convenient solution, tackling bare spots in both sun and shade areas. Applying it was effortless—scraping out straw was the only prep needed, and the pre-seeded pellets settled seamlessly into the soil. Over the next few weeks, we watched our patch fill in without the usual guesswork. The fertilizer boosted growth, while the mulch retained moisture. Now, our once-empty spot is thriving. For us, this all-in-one kit is a game-changer, eliminating the need to mix separate products and delivering results with minimal effort. We Highly recommend it for quick, quality lawn repairs.
