Truly amazing product!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To use the Pennington Contractors Grass Seed, I cleared the debris and loosened up the soil in a 3x3 area, spread the seeds as evenly as possible and lightly covered them with soil using a rake. Then I watered immediately after and twice a day every day. Within 5 days the seeds had sprouted and started growing quickly thereafter. I had didn't same process the first time but didn't cover with soil. It still grew but not as nice, thick and green ...

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!

Quick sprouting annual grass!

Would Recommend

The annual grass came up quickly and looks great. It will hold the soil in place during the winter.

Grows quickly, tall, thin, brighter green.

Would Recommend

Grew really quick but Perrinial grass really tall, thin, flimsy & brighter green. Great for problem areas but have to mow often. Prefer thicker darker green grass, but takes longer to grow. Grass ingredients weren’t on bag itself, a white label stapled to it - my bag didn’t have one.

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.

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...
