Jonathan Green (11000) Black Beauty Heavy Traffic Grass Seed - Cool Season Lawn Seed (7 lb)

The backyard we re-did was completely infested with weeds so we decided to scrape it to bare soil and plant some heavy traffic fescue in the early spring. Took about 8 weeks to completely fill in and it is still maturing, some weeds came back through but that was expected and will be drowned out with a good weed and feed in the fall. Added some compost and manure on top of the raked seed and watered faithfully twice a day.

This grass is amazing! First we bought a really expensive bag with coated big blue seeds from HomeDepot - it grew but the bag was around $50 and covered no more than 10 square feet. In addition, the HD modified grass seeds came to be light yellowish green grass, which looks like it's dying, so I am not a big fan. I am happy though that I found the Jonathan Green natural grass! It is dark green and super soft, yet very sturdy! I have become an expert at growing it by now!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...

Grows quickly as advertised took roughly two weeks to see grass growth however some seeds never grew and remained in the yard grass has grown in Patches. I would still purchase again though

I used this on the area where the landscaper usually turns around on their sit-down mower and was constantly tearing up the grass. I planted this late September, blocked off the area for rest of cutting season and now, here in April, the lawn is incredibly thick, green and lush. It has never been this thick before. I also planted some by my kid's slide, and same thing... incredibly thick. This brand has always been successful for me.

Had the lawn properly prepped, put the seed out and even have a sprinkler system to water briefly 3 times per day to keep the seed moist.Nothing grew.

I was hoping it would grow like crazy but did not

Decía que crecía en 14 días, germinó en solo una semana.me encantó!Solo sigue las instrucciones y regar dos veces al día.
