There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first time was unsuccessful. I roughed up the dirt and put the seeds on top, almost all died and left me heart broken! The second attempt I mixed the dirt with the seeds and packed it in holes where I wanted it to grow. And Oh boy, did it grow! But it was too dense.
So, my third attempt - I cleaned up two large areas - about 20 square feet each. Removed about about 2" of the top soil and everything that was growing (with a small hoe). Roughed up the dirt and cleaned up roots as best as I could, then put back some soil to fill the hole a little bit. Next, I sprinkled a little bit of the Jonathan Green Heavy Traffic Seeds and the JG Full Sun Seeds in the respective areas. I did not put much seeds, they were not on top of each other and one could see a lot of dirt around them. Then, covered the seeds with organic garden soil that I had bought at Costco. Just a light cover - almost like sprinkle the dirt but I made sure it covered the seeds to keep them moist. I watered daily and started to see seedlings in a week!!! Within 3 weeks my new baby grass had it's first haircut and did not get damaged from lawn mower going over it.
My last method is my favorite! Covers a huge amount of area while being conservative with the seeds. The bag is still half full. These seeds are a great value! The key is to keep them moist while they are germinating and maturing. There is one more thing these seeds might do for you - make you proud of your amazing lawn that did not take any poisons to kill anyone!!! Just natural naturally grown beautiful grass!
I wish these grass seeds come up higher in the Amazon search. I really had to dig to find it...
This seed did fairly well. It’s a 5 for no maintenance. It did root and grow. Now, it grew in patchy, and some of the seeds didn’t grow at all. In fact, they’re still on top of the soil. It did grow in decent patches, though, and the grass blades are decently thick and very green. As you can see it’s even coming up through the leaves that we have not bothered to take at all. The layer of leaves helps keeps the dust from the sand down when the dogs play. Anyway, my yard maintenance notwithstanding, I will definitely buy a few more bags of this as we roll into spring and put it down. For someone who has a very little desire to take care of a yard, in about 3-6 weeks I’ve grown grass. I don’t care if my husband put it down, I watched it happen so I grew it. Don’t judge me. And don’t freak out if it starts to grow and dies, we had some early sprinters that didn’t make it, probably because of the high traffic.
