What a gross and horrible damage these big companies have done to everything in our environment. These are not grass seeds, they are manufactured fake empty hollow nothings.Spreading green colored tiny chafe does not a true grass lawn make.Don't waste your money or believe the fake videos. Thus is NOT grass seed and nothing will grow without more money for this or for that. Its designed that way, to buy more product just to simply grow grass.THIS IS NOT GRASS. It's weeds!!!!

I live in southern Arizona where the sun scorches you to death in the summertime. These little seeds have started to grow and rather quickly too... About 5-8 days. The grass is super green and thick but I just hope it can stay alive during the scorching heat this summer.

Every single 1 lbs bag claims that it will cover 1000 sq ft. I have a trench that I dug to bury conduit and it measures about 130 ft long and because of disturbance about 2 ft wide. This means overall square footage is 260 square ft. With edge guard Scott's spreader shoots out about 3ft so I was expecting to walk on one side of the trench, turn around and walk back on other side of the trench. Total square footage of doing that should be 780 square feet. Color me amused that in expecting to walk the trench 4 times (ergo buying 4 bags), I very quickly realized that stated square footage is ridiculously overstated. Using 4 bags I barely walked trench 130 ft one way and about 60 ft the other way. This means total seed coverage spread is 570 square feet for 4 1 lbs bags. Bags claim to would have covered 4000 square feet. This means that actual coverage is 7 times less than stated. This means each and every 1 lbs bag actually covers 142 square feet which is a far cry from 1000 square feet stated. And so I just ordered another 4 bags. For those interested on the bag it says to set your dial to 3.5 on the spreader. That seems to be very adequate so you are not wasting seed... it is just not covering what it said it should. Also if this is your first time spreading, do not hold lever when you start moving. Hold lever after you have already moved because the way spreaders are designed is they immediately drop seed so you need to be moving for it to spread, otherwise it will dump a pile of seed in 1 spot. I dropped a very small pile as a test.

Grass seed purchasing is controversial, and many people have problems. This grass seed is properly marketed and works. I will present the facts and back it up with proof for those in question for success.Facts:Dropped seed Sunday, September 24, 2023, 5 pmGrass was visible 2 days later90 degrees high temperature80 degrees low temperatureHumidity was 90% each dayPhotograph is 5 days after September 24, on September 29Second photograph is 5 weeks after seeding, Saturday, October 28, 2023How, using common sense skills:1.
