GBW Grass Seed 1kg – Covers up to 55 m2 (590 ft2) New Lawns

Used this after my leather jacket treatment and my grass is lovely and thick!!! it was a few weeks till i noticed a difference but really happy with my lawn.

Used for patches on lawn. Took 2-3 weeks to fully fill the spaces. Nice thin grass shoots, great for lawns. Have cut it a few times now and still looks great. Tried to buy again but not available. Previous grass seeds I brought were thick and grew quickly. These were excellent. Will buy again when available.

This is a very good product and grows very well, my only complaint is the coverage.
In the headline it says 55m for New Lawns, then later in the description says 35m for new lawns but in the instructions with the product it says 35g for a square metre so 1kg is not going to do 55m or 35m.

I first sowed the seed in April in my north facing front garden and had read the reviews that said it was quick to grow. I was starting to loose faith after two weeks and had only short patchy stubble. Then it gathered momentum and within another week had a light covering and by the forth week – it was uniform green, apart from a patch a cat pee’d on, which I reseeded and within a week it had regrown.
Watering is important in the early stages as it really responds to the damp soil. I would also add some words of wisdom that top soil isn’t as important as making sure the grass makes good contact with the soil – I trod over the area lightly to firm up the loosened soil so the seed was in close contact.
I reseeded the back garden in July, which is south facing and within 4 days it was already starting to show and established very quickly within two weeks. As it was the wettest July on record, no watering was necessary other than in the more sheltered areas. The lawn is a lovely spring green, the seed is single strand and not clump forming. I’ve had plenty of comments from my neighbours and friends – I would highly recommend this product. I may have overlooked the instructions, as I couldn’t find any in the packaging, but there are so many tutorials on sowing seed – it was a no brainer.

Have purchased several bags of this as have a large (100m2+) lawn to sow and have been very impressed in the final grass that develops. I would recommend sowing slightly thicker than recommended and definitely make sure the seed is covered as this makes a big difference to what comes up I found, I used standard 60l compost bags from our local garden centre spread just enough to cover the bulk of the seeds and the grass was up within a week, fully matured within 3. Growth is so good I have been cutting it every 7-10 days, really good quality lawn.

After reading plenty of positive reviews, I decided to make a purchase. I am by no means a professional and didn’t follow the instructions. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a before picture, but I can explain my process. First, I cut the grass to the lowest level, then scarified the lawn until it looked bare. Next, I used my seed spreader to cover most of the area, and then I covered it with soil. I let the natural rain take over from there. This is the progress after 4 weeks of starting. It is highly recommended, and I will purchase again. Around 90% of the lawn has been covered, but there are some sections that did not take, so I will focus on those patches.
