Product works if you water the correct way

I read comments and I see others saying i never have had a problem with this seed been using it for 8-10 years you can't over water and must but a light mist of water making sure your soil stays moist not muddy it should not look wet. seed will rot. I learned that if you use a mister or light sprinkler setting for about a 1-2'Min early morning if you can mid day and evening only mist you will have best results also for those spots that don't catch the birds do also eat the seed. For those who have had a bad experience try this out. Hope it works for you.

so far so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just put this out on the grass as soon as we got home. The mixture itself looked nice and it spread nicely without any clumping. Packaging was professional and there was a nice amount of seed in the package. I will have to update once we start seeing growth

I would not buy this grass seed again

I tried to fix approx. 3 ft. X 4ft spot and got zero results. I have tried in early spring and recently and no grass. but when i put your bird food in my bird feeders I get results all around my feeders. I recommend you start selling your bird food as grass seed. I don;t require a refund , I just want you to know your grass seed doesn't work for me. I plan on switching to a different brand this fall. I live in Charlotte N.C.

Pennington Grass Seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It came well packaged. I was wondering how they would send the grass seed via mail. It was well in tact. I'm not one for doing yard work. But I love the simple to read instructions that I can do. I like the grass seed mix. I am inspired to work on the yard this weekend. I'm impressed and will be using this product.

Beautiful seed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know much about grass seed, but our dirt is very clay-like and keeping a nice, green lawn is always difficult. We had already decided to seed the yard this year in hopes of growing new, thick grass. It's been about a week since we put it down and I'm already seeing new sprouts of growth, so I'm very hopeful that the patch we tested it on will be beautiful and lush in no time. My boyfriend did say that the seed looks perfect and he has very high hopes that it will continue to grow and give him the lawn of his dreams.

Magical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some bare patches in my yard from my dog. I was hesitant to try grass seed because I thought it would be too difficult. It turned out to be super easy. In only a week, all the patches were sprouting bright green grass.

quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty quality seed compared to others purchased. Decent volume for price and size bag. The packaging is better quality than others. Compared to other similar seeds, this mix seems to adhere better and not move as much with rain, fostering growth.

Didn't work well in zone 6

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had high hopes for this grass seed but unfortunately it didn't deliver. I followed the instructions exactly: loosened the soil, spread the seed evenly, kept it consistently watered, but weeks later the bald patches in my lawn still look the same. While a few blades came up in other areas, the spots I was really hoping to fix remain bare. Disappointing, especially considering the time and effort I put in. Wouldn't recommend if you're trying to patch problem areas.

Planted!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have these seeds out in the backyard as I write this! We live in a sunny area so hopefully it makes it so grass will grow beautifully! I do wish these bags were a little bigger for the price they are though.

I would never buy this product again

I bought this seed to over seed some patchy areas in my yard. It was the end of the season and this was the only grass seed still available in my city. The temperatures in my location last fall were upper 40's to 60. when planted in WI. The rep I spoke to stated that the temperature for planting needs to be 60 degrees or above. No where on the bag is there instruction indicating temperatures recommended by the manufacturer for planting so I thought it would be OK. There packaging does state "We Stand Behind Our Products" if not satisfied by keeping the bag and proof of purchase, which I did. Problem is they only stand by for 90 days, which is not stated on the bag. I thought I may see some growth this spring, but no such luck and NO REFUND!
