Very disappointed in Boston!

I put this seed down 3 weeks ago after meticulous preparation with all the basics covered while maintaining strict watering protocol. Not a single blade has appeared to germinate.

Very pleased in Central Florida

We planted between our properties. The area receives sun only three hours per day. The seeds sprouted on the eighth day, and was ready for mowing after the third week.

Easy to use and effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] easy to use and effective! I used this grass seed to fix up some patchy areas on my lawn. I just sprinkled it and it seems to be working! it is not a replacement for a professional lawn service, but if you have a few patchy areas, this does the trick!

Thick, dark green grass rapidly appeared

Planted first week of Sept. and by day 14 entire newly planted spot was dark blue-green luscious grass was growing thick, full. I prepped soil as recommended and watered anytime the mulch turned light color. Easy, easy if you want to repair bare spots.

Seed works great Please read.

I failed the 1st year when I planted this seed with watering. I was tired of the weeds in my front porch area so I applied a herbicide which turned everything back to brown(about 1 week later). I racked the area and applied top soil made sure the area was leveled. I sprinkled the seed by hand (this bag was kept in a shed over a Nj winter) this was done in early May 2019. The most important product I applied with the seed was Ez -Straw mulch this keeps the birds at bay or any rodents trying to snatch up the seeds. The seeds do turn white and thought it was not working for days. But all the rain in May and with the ez straw mulch keeping the seeds moist I am all green in my front porch. Amazing project success with this seed.

Would buy again if it matches my lawn once it fills in

Ok, I feel your pain. Here's our method; which I determined to be the most economical. We have 0.21 acres (12K square feet) of lawn. Our 1st experimental bare spot filled-in in 9 days! My 2 YouTube 'mentor videos' were from Rodge, from This Old House, (How to revive a brown lawn), and the 2nd one being (Grass Seed Test PROOF! Grass Seeding Before and After Results (LAWN CARE). With my wife's good back, I then instructed her to scrape the top 3 inches of soil, using a bow rake. To save $$, we reused and had her amend the native soil, by adding 'Sta-Green Flower and Vegetable Garden Soil Plus Fertilizer'-worked into the soil. She lay the seed in, not overly, but just to uniformly cover the area. I then watered the seed (before her covering it with a 1/4 inch of new soil-to protect from birds and the Sun). Once covered, I watered a second time. Then kept the area wet, by watering twice a day, for two weeks, then once a day for the 3rd week. None if it had rained. Tiny grass under the soil could be seen, we thought , within 3 days. Then nothing changed much for 8 days, other than new grass peeping through, under the top soil, in a total of 29 spots. We were sure we had failed, due to the native soil, we thought, may had been too clay-like. However, it did not appear to be clay at all, originally, when my wife worked it in, but after we saw what appeared to be ants building a clay-like mound, in one corner, we believed it to be. Then, on the ninth day, like some kind of miracle, my wife comes back-in, saying that it had sprouted all over. I went to check, and sure thing, it had sprouted throughout. I thought my neighbors fell sorry for me and had played a joke on me, by planting, in the middle of the night, grass all over the worked area ! But after a closer look, it was clear, that in fact, it had worked! The grass was so close & evenly spaced together, that it would had been impossible to get it in ! In hindsight, I would have her add more seed- overseeding

Water faithfully

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent germination with decent soil and plenty of faithful watering. Grass came in thick and full even in this hot weather. Remember to water it faithfully and the seeds really take hold. We have used this product in several areas of our property with great success.
