Caution -- if you're using this to add to or fill in your existing Bermuda lawn make sure that you have common bermuda. Hybrid bermuda which is what most builders put in is different in both color and texture. It will very hard to fix if you establish both common and hybrid in the same area.
I know this product is made for convenience, but there's a reason it's next to impossible to find the actual ingredients, they didn't even have them on their website.

48.19% unhulled seed
.05% crop seed
.01% weed seed
51.75% inert matter

Inert matter is made up of 37.5% clay, 12.5% fertilizer, and 1.75% inert matter

You'd probably be better off just buying pure seed, should be able to get a lot more lbs of seed for the same price, then just overseed.

Consistently finding expired seed at Home Depot and Lowes. What's up with that?

Except, of course, this is not pure seed, and is designed for a specific purpose.

I live in Central Ohio and I really contemplating using this on the lawn. With the more extreme weather recently, even Fescues and KBG struggles over the summer time especially when dry.

And yes, it can be done this far north. A local college 40 mins east of me (Dennison U) replaced their entire soccer field with Bermuda grass with high success.

Get a plugger or harvest runners from the good areas and plant those in the thinner areas -- water like new sod until it takes.

My point is simply that I think you get more for your dollar per pound of product buying pure seed without all the other garbage in it. Clay isn't helping the grass grow, but it makes the product bag heavier. Home Depot has big Miracle Gro topsoil bags on sale for $2 if you want to add some dirt. You'd come out with a much better looking lawn for less money overall, that's why I said I understand it's about convenience. Just hard to swallow that most of the product in the bag is useless. Seems like the same amount of work overall

Where to find only the seeds though? Looks like everything sold online has added dirt.

Guys, consider stopping with the invasive grasses and tedious upkeep and moving over to a native solution that's easier and better for the local ecology. Search 'no lawns' for ideas.

Amazon had 10 lbs bags of Scott's EZ Seed Patch and Repair Bermudagrass for $21. Just bought it last night but it's up to $28 now. This product is not a direct comparison as it's only 5% seed but good if you need a patch.

It's always funny to see this as I'd scorch the earth if it would actually rid this from my yard lol. Satan's grass for sale 😂

If you need Bermuda then this is a good price for 1 pound.
I don't see why all the negative comments. Obviously with just 1 pound people who would use this all ready have a Bermuda lawn.
I recently paid over 10 for this same bag. So to me this is a great deal half off
