I live in a semi-temperate rain forest, suseptible to very heavy downpours of rain. The seed germinated in 8 days. I had covered the seeds with a thin blanket of straw to prevent the seeds from washing or blowing away on a sloped yard. I'll leave the straw and fine netting in place, and the future, taller grass will completely hide the straw to decompose into the ground. I am pleased with the progress so far, although it grows much more slowly than I am accustomed. I used almost the entire bag on 1,100 sq.ft. area. I'll probably need more seed in the spring to fill in sparse areas, but I'll wait until then to decide.

Grass seed is expensive but this stuff is really expensive so I took all the steps to get a good stand. I had filled in a pool so I started with fresh topsoil. I lightly tilled to loosen the soil. I spread the seed and I did not skimp. I covered with chopped straw then set up sprinkler to run twice daily. The seed finally sprouted after 2+ weeks. Oh, this was in the fall. It has continued to grow as I live in zone 7 and winter has been mild. You can see from the pics, there are patches of really nice, short dark green grass. Mixed in are very tall, light green tufts of grass. I guess I will spot kill the tall stuff and re-seed with more grass. The growth was very patch so I am glad I bought the 10# bag because I will be repeating the process this spring to try and get more coverage. Overall, I would buy again because there is no other alternative.

I live in northern Wilmington near the line to PA which has soil that is heavy in clay. I buzzed the lawn down with a lawnmower and then used the weed wacker to buz it down to the ground. After that, I spread topsoil to have a new layer of soil. I put this seed down with this starter fertilizer and covered it with straw. The straw I got from Lowes in compressed rectangular bails. This was done last fall and came up nice. I did not notice it taking an exceptional amount of time as some people said on here. I did use humic and biochar that Doc on YouTube sells on amazon. My lawn this spring came up like a beautiful golf course. It is fabulous. This seed is kind of pricey but I am sold that it is great. I do think How to with Doc and his stuff helped a lot! His fertilizer is also pricey but awesome. After putting down the Doc fertilizer I am going to hit it with Superjoice with added microbes. I did put down organic matter a couple of weeks ago. The microbes will break down the organic matter which is chick (baby chicken) feed which I got at Tractor Supply or I think you can get it on amazon. I have some weeds and clover which I will stray Tenacity on it to get rid of them. Great product. Use a surfactant with it to make it stick to the weeds along with a dye to see where you sprayed.

Did not germinate like other brands we bought. Not happy for what we paid for it.

4 stars because it is a bit pricey. But, this seed is great. It was very easy to plant and grow in the fall here in the northeast. And, in an area that has been difficult for me to seed and cultivate a lawn in previous years. A little straw and daily watering and I was impressed with the growth. Virtually no maintenance was required this summer- the first full summer after I planted the grass. Looks like a nice long fescue grass. Some weeds did grow in but were handled easy enough. Just reseeded this fall so I expect an even better cover next spring.

This seed germinated and took hold faster and better than any grass seed I’ve hand sown in a typically prepared bed in marginal soil in my lifetime. Because the hillside is so steep and runoff from rain potentially a threat I placed a netting with embedded straw over the bed. I’m not sure that was necessary after the fact but I couldn’t be happier with the results. A lot of native weeds came up as well but I sprayed it with a Bauer product for broadleaf and crab grass after the new grass was well established and it has had no consequences to the grass and the weeds are dying.

I have the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood thanks to this seed. The grass is very fine bladed. It came up easily with daily watering. We applied it with a fertilizer mixed in. The first use was probably 85% germination. Now that it's been open a while, successive areas have been more like 50% germination.
