Not consistent/not worth it
on July 1, 2024
Posted by: CN58
I took my chances- some said wait ‘til early fall, we don’t plant grass in the WI summers. I was warned about watering 3x a day when those 80+ degrees roll in. So … I planted 1/2 the area needed, covered it with straw, have been faithfully watering (yes sometimes a 3d time). I’m going into my 3.5 week and the growth has been VERY gradual (not as fast as the blend made it sound) and spotty. I knew I’d be completing the area in early August, but if I knew then what I know now, I’d save my time and money.

Not a good product
on April 14, 2025
Posted by: No grass at all
I bought this over a month ago and barely have any sprigs of grass growing after watering according to the instructions. Tilled the dirt, spread the seed, watered and waited and waited Maybe 50-60 sprigs of grass growing. Very disappointed. Waste of time and money. We know have to find something that works and start all over again.

Soil temperatures must be at least 55° F (+12.7° C) for grass seed to germinate and daytime temperatures need to consistently be over 65°. In the spring, it takes a lot of consistently warm temperatures to warm up the soil and cool nighttime temperatures and fluctuating temperatures will slow germination.

Easy to seed and Quick to Grow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I applied this to my lawn or lack there of, I have tried multiple different seeds and brands to plant in a mostly shaded area with two dogs that are difficult to keep off. I was impressed how quickly the seeds sprouted and held up well to the shaded area.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product free to try. I’ve heard nothing but great reviews! Unfortunately right now we are in the middle of a blizzard, so We will have to wait a little longer to try it. However, when we do; we will show you our beautiful lawn!

1 foot of snow can't wait to seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This seed is the first thing I will do to my lawn as soon as Spring Arrives. The fast-growing nature should make it ideal for the patches in my yard that desperately need seed. More info once Spring has arrived

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product for overall healthy grass. We moved into a home with a patchy backyard and evidence of a previous pool so we have been trying to get the healthy lawn back and this helped us so much! Works fast! Beautiful color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is some of the best stuff. I tired in the past using the cheap stuff thinking that it may be the similar and I couldn’t be more wrong. Take your time, follow the instructions and you’ll be more than happy with the results. This stuff is a must for your yard.
