Greenest grass on the block!
This is my go-to whenever I have dead grass or bare spots. Much better than the pallets of bermuda grass I had replaced in my backyard years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grew green grass FAST!
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023
The pictures show growth after 3 weeks.

Went from an area that had patchy grass in around 1/2, and just dirt in half. Overseeded the patchy part and tilled the dirt.

Growth started within a few days, was noticeably thicker in a week, and gangbusters after that.

I’ve read some other reviews where the grass didn’t grow, and I’ve seen some of the pictures.

Yes, if you just throw the seed on rock hard bare dirt, and give it a little water every now and then, it’s probably not going to grow.

You do have the prep the ground. Imo more than the packaging leads you to believe. You should do a deep and thorough de thatching and cleanup of existing patchy lawn.

For bare hard dirt imo you need to break it up to a depth of 3-4 inches. I also added chicken manure to most of the lawn and dirt. Not a crazy amount, but a good amount. The totally bare dirt I also covered with a thin layer of peat.

Finally, you MUST water! No water, no grass! Imo it takes more water than most people think or do. I watered 4x a day, and it’s Sept so not overly hot right now. I noticed some spots that weren’t getting hit by the sprinklers didn’t grow well. Once I hit them with a hose daily, they filled in quickly.

Good stuff! But you have to do your part!
