I followed full instructions on a freshly tilled yard with daily watering . Previous Gras has behin growing back over 3 inches and seeded areas still bare with no indications of new growth and were on Day 14! Very dissatisfied after using 2 20lb bags total waste of money and time!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great coverage on my yard. There was a huge bare area that this covered nicely. You may be able to see in the photo. Packaging was very easy to open and seeds were a nice green shade. Very happy with this product.

For some reason my grass began to die when temperature got in to high 90s ..my grass turned brown even watering it every other day..It was beautiful until it got hot..pretty green grass..it's planted since March and this is July. I don't know what's wrong..it says it is good in sun and shade..drought resistant..olive in East Texas ...I made sure I bought right grass for this area.

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.

[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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased two bags of Pennington smart sun and shade grass seed for my cash back challenge on influenster for a area where we took a large tree out of our yard! I chose the sun and shade mix due to this area be part sun and part shade. this was my first experience with the Pennington brand and I am giving it 4 stars because I still have a lot of bare spots where I put all the seed and I coated the ground really well. I also made sure I raked the ground so there was grooves about 1/4 deep per the instructions on the bag. What I do like about the smart seed is the fertilizer added to the bag and also the coating to deter the birds from thinking I put a feast of seeds for then to eat. I also like the smart seed takes less water so it is easier to keep the area watered! I feel the price for this seed is about the same as other brands that offer the smart seed and fertilizer in the bag. I will purchase one more bag to work on the bare spots if the grass doesn't finish filling in from all the seeds still out on the ground.

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.

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
