Really easy to use to fix up bald patches on the lawn.
Does take a couple of weeks to start seeing results as opposed to the few days advertised. Grass grew healthy and thick.
Look at the before and after photos. Alot of the grass has already grown back and the small patches also have growth. Great product very easy to use. Main think keep watering daily.
Between the dog and the endless leaf fall from the Oak outside our house, my lawn needs some support in being green and luscious. I’ve used the Miracle Grow patch repair for a while now and always notice an improvement. This year has been slightly slower than previous but I’m persevering still. Would recommend for anyone with patches in their lawn.
I am really delighted with this product. I had a round patch about 10cm on my newly turfed lawn. I applied it 3 weeks ago & covered it with some netting. (Although a couple of robins tried their best to get to the seed through the net). Today it is great. Can’t even see where the original patch was. I have another couple of patches which I will be doing soon.
Have used before. Very reliable. This time round, 7 days in and already signs of good strong growth. Just remember to keep the patches well watered particularly in a heat wave.
Timing aside this was easy to apply needing a light rake over the worn out area and then sprinkle over the top. I also lightly tamped down the mixture to ensure contact with the soil.
It took a bit longer than the prescribed 4 days for the first shoots to appear but daily watering over 10 days provided noticeable growth over I’d say 75% of the mixture I’d laid down. After a few more weeks half of the mixture was growing strongly and the other half was a bit patchy but that could be down to the poor soil my lawn covers.
Overall I’d say it does work if well and constantly watered but it is expensive per sq m so use judicially.
Decent value for money and easier to use than most patch grass seed but just make sure you continue with the aftercare.
Well what can I say, I’m glad I did buy it.
It was so easy to use, follow instructions basically scrape down to the top soil in the patchy area and just add a very thin covering of this patch magic.
I did water it everyday so it didn’t dry out as well. As you can see from the photos the results are great, the area was all down to the mud due to our puppy trying to dig holes in the grass. Also I have 2 big dogs when are constantly out in the garden so wasn’t sure if this would work. As you can imagine trying to keep dogs off the new area is a nightmare so I just left it.
This was done on the 1st of April so around a month ago, I’m very happy with the results so far I will now be using it on the rest of the garden. It still has a little more to grow but really happy with the results
Nothing happened for a week. Thought I’d wasted my money too after reading some reviews. As a last chance I watered more (daily when it didn’t rain) and after 3 weeks 9/10 patches (all 3-6inchs) gone, 1/10 still ropey but the soil was thin there. I raked the patches, removed the moss, added this stuff, then covered with compost soil. Seemed to work this time for me and better than expected on shallow soil along the edge of a pathway where there’s concrete foundation.
The seeds were for a section of my back garden that had just been levelled out and a big scrub removed, so ultimately I had big section of soil in a shaded area. I started by adding top soil to the section where to the area of seeding. Raked the soil into the rest of the surface area as you do, in then spread loads of the patch magic seeds into the soil then raked again so that it would all mesh in together, well hoping anyways. I’m new to all this so assumed it would be the right thing to do. Once raked and seeds spread out I lightly watered the area and hoped for the best.
I have been watering the area once, sometimes twice a day as the last few weeks have been fairly warm and dry!
It took about a week to see any sprouts but I’m now 3 weeks in and I can see lots of grass 🙂 it has rained loads today so that is great and can’t wait to see what it looks like in a couple more weeks! Great product.
Oh I forgot to mention this was in a shaded area!
