Excited

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased many grass seed products before none can compare to Pennington Seed. Very consistent in size throughout the entire bag. I even purchased their growing pad to cover the seed. Very affordable for the size of bag. Pennington 20 lbs. KY 31 Fescue Grass Seed

Good Quality Seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not an expert on grass seed, but I have over seeded enough times to start noticing a difference between brands. This seed seems to have germenated quicker than most and seems to be growing well. I didn't notice and new weeds that sometimes come with lower quality seed. I was provided this product in exchange for a review, but I would certainly pick this one again when seeding.

Ideal for high-traffic areas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Grass Seed had sent me this free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program. I planted it in my front yard and its been a great choice for a tough, everyday lawn. The seed is ideal if you want a lawn that can take some abuse from kids or high foot traffic.

We needed a winter grass to secure dirt work

We did a bunch of dirt work in our backyard for drainage problems. It destroyed the grass. We needed to secure the dirt from new rains. This seed grew faster than expected, even though a cold front came through and it was below 60°. It is now very thick and lush in January

Pennington is the only grass seed I buy. Proven product year

Quality seed at an extremely reasonable price. I have started hundreds of lawns with Pennington and had successful results every time. Remember , your seed is only as good as your soil prep, correct planting , soil temperature and providing consistent watering in order to achieve quality germination. If you follow all planting instructions Pennington advises you will have a great looking lawn .

green grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We laid Pennington grass seed down and I kid you not less then a week later baby grass was sprouting up. After several weeks are yard is looking fantastic. It has made the grass fuller and even better, soft!! I wish the bags were a bit bigger for the price. I do like the thick plastic type bags, no worrying about a rip and loosing seed. Definitely would recommend Pennington products!! Great grass for practicing sports!!

Waiting for the new grass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a good packaging with detailed instructions. We got this last week and seeded in some bold spots in our backyard. Those are little green granules you spread and water after. That's what we did. In instruction it's said to fertilize the area but we skipped it. Little by little the new grass starts to grow.

Wouldn't waste my time on it

Ive always bought Pennington, a great product with a reputation. I do not know what is with this seed. I put it down in mid March, covered with erosion blanket and watered twice a day. Were at april 24th nothing has sprouted. Glad i wasted money on 2- big bags. Stay away from this. Buy something better.

Green Grass in Shady Areas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently seeded a very shady area with Pennington Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue. I received a 3 lb bag to try as a promotion for free through BzzzAgent. I live in the south (Arkansas) and have Bermuda grass in my sunny yard areas. However, Bermuda does not grow well in the shade under tress and near my back porch. Penni from Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue was the perfect solution for this. I just scattered the seed by hand in the shady areas that I wanted to plant it. I did not cover it with straw. The seed was coated with green stuff and did fine without covering it. I have a lot of birds around and they did not seem to bother it. Germination seemed somewhat slow and took every bit in two weeks before I noticed new grass blades popping up. But once it popped up it was a beautiful emerald green color. I liked this so much a bought a 40 lb bag which covered another approximate 1/2 acre of shade area that I wanted to seed. This is a good product and choice for shade areas. This grass needs a lot of water so I would not recommend it for sunny areas.
