I seeded the area in late September and it is now fully grown in October and matches the existing grass perfectly. I was well impressed, having bought other seeds before with a high failure rate. It looks very hardy too.
Well, it appears to be working, the grass is growing. The heights of shoots seems vary, presumably depending on the soil conditions in that area (patches of our soil seem more clay like and wetter than other areas). The sprinkler holes in the box work well in getting an even coverage. Be careful when watering after sewing to use a very fine spray and carefully, especially on clay-ish soil, or else any water run-off will carry the seeds with it. Next, I suppose, I’ll need to buy a mower.
Never sowed grass seed before but it seems to be growing well given it was only used 11 days ago so end of season. So far so good. This item was bought a year ago so I can confirm it lasts wrapped in plastic in shed.
Bought this as my “grass” was mainly moss. Raked out the moss, sprinkled the seed and 3 to 4 weeks laterr new grass appeared. It is the most beautiful shade of green and I would highly recommend this product.
This was a brand new lawn started from scratch. This was originally all paved over and we removed the slabs and added top soil and seed.
I have tried some cheaper stuff which didn’t really do much. I put this seed down around March/April and even though we had those cold frost nights this followed through. You can see there are still a few patches which I blame on the birds.
Spread the seed around evenly and then added a small amount of top soil and rake over. Water a couple of times a day, I recommend in the morning and evening and before you know it you will have grass! 🙂
Always cynical about these products but gor me this one really worked. I have a very big lawned area ( about 500 sq metres) which I do look after reasonably well. Last years drought did a lot of harm and at start of this year it still looked tired and patch. Now it’s looking great again after about 3 weeks. The greenness is all back and I hope that longer term it toughens up the roots like it says it will. I will use again before autum
The birds seem to enjoy them.
But seem to be coming through now, after three weeks.
Too early to say, how lush they will be.
Am prepared for some areas to require reseeding.
Found the built in applicator very handy and I was able to spread evenly, took a good 3+ weeks to germinate but I put that down to the time of year, lack of sunlight/warmth. Grass is now growing nicely
This is an easy to use grass seed product. I find the aqua gel system provides a good, fast growing grass. We put a swimming pool up in our garden for the summer and so we are always left with a rectangle “mud” pool print once it is dismantled. I simply sprinkle this grass seed down and hey presto – the grass is back within a couple of weeks! I do spray water to ensure the seeds don’t dry out and I also sprinkle compost over the top – mainly to stop the birds from eating it! I do find that you need to sprinkle a lot of it to get a lovely dense lawn, so maybe go up a size from what you’d think based on the manufacturer’s guide.
I’m a keen gardener, but have to say when it comes to sowing grass seed I’ve really struggled, until now, the gro-sure is the best product I’ve ever come across for guaranteed grass growth. I had a number of areas in shaded spots that completely died this summer due to the heat and didn’t grow back, sowed this seed and within 5 days the grass had grown – magic! Very happy customer!
