I would definitely buy this product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this free sample in exchange for reviewing it. I would definitely buy this product after trying my free sample. It terminated really fast and it was some very dry weather. If I had actually used a sprinkler on it I am sure it would have performed even better

Coming in nice!

Would Recommend

The seed is sprouting nicely. My yard is large. This is the first time I decided to reseed only a section of it. I have been watering consistently too. In the future I will reseed my yard sections at a time as it is easier to manage.

Grass seed review

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I along with my hubby used this grass seed to fill in some bare spots in our yard. Used a grass seed hand spreader to sow it. Grass is already popping up where the seed was sown surprisingly given our somewhat dry past few weeks. It is reassuring to see the growth while only using our sprinkler for a few minutes a day . Seems to be a great product!

Mega disappointed in this product 100lbs later. In short, it just didn’t produce.

Filled in some spots

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product did pretty good. I put it in my toughest spot where I was not able to get anything to grow and actually got some growth!

Green

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is part of a promotional free product trial. Somehow I did not receive the directions for this product. So, I followed the directions on the package. Mother Nature helped to keep the seed watered. It sprouted within a week, but we did have some heavy rains, and lost a good bit of seed. If you plant this, I would recommend a straw cover to help keep intact.

Grows Quick & LASTS!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this grass seed thus far! I planted in a very dead spot of my yard where we constantly just have sand. My husband threw down some fertilizer and the grass seed and it sprouted up really quickly. It has lasted and has not died off! Looks great. Full and great for the kids to play in. My yard looks so much better. I am very happy with this.

Good Grass Seed Starter

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this grass seed to fill in bare, red clay areas of our yard. The seed was easy to see and spread well with the seed spreader. We used burlap to cover half the seed, and the other half was left uncovered. There was some growth on the uncovered seed after several weeks, but it was minimal. The covered seed took well and was thickly propagated. The root growth is very shallow and will need more time to be established, as removing the burla...

Life saver for hard to grow areas

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It worked incredibly well even without a lot of ground prep. It germinated quickly and has been growing strong ever since. I've even bought a second bag bc it worked so well!

Fantastic Product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the product to cover broad and small bald spots in our yard. It was very easy to use and spreaded greatly. However it just wasn't enough in the bag.
