Pennington Bare Spot Repair Penkoted Grass Seed Mixture Central 1 lb

We had a tree removed in our yard and the stump ground down, however, it left a bare area in the yard that needed grass. On a whim I checked out Amazon and came across this Pennington Bare Spot Grass Seed. Hey, for what I paid it was better priced than most other grass seed products-and I didn't need a lot either. Even if it didn't do all that well I figured I would not be out all that much cash. It arrived the next day (one day service) and saved me a trip to any stores to go checking out for grass seed. I got it spread on the bare spot the very day it arrived. I raked out the dirt in the bare area first and then sprinkled the remainder of a bag of earthworm castings I had on the dirt and raked that in too. Next I spread the grass seed all over dirt on the bare spot and raked some dirt lightly over the seed--watered it well with the shower mist setting on my hose nozzle. Then since my husband had just mowed the yard I "lightly" sprinkled some grass clippings over the grass seed to keep the wild turkeys that roam through our yard from pecking at the grass seed. I see another reviewer used grass clippings as well to cover the grass seed--don't apply too much, though, and smother the seeds. We are keeping the grass seed moist by watering each day until tiny shoots start to come up, which can take awhile sometimes (if the grass seed dries out or gets too sun-baked it may not sprout). Well, within a little over a week the grass is coming up and we had some cool nights here too. Ordering on-line saved me a trip to the store.

but you have to rake the soil first.

This is actually coming up and all I did was spread it by hand and water it. Still rather thin, but is still growing and looking really good. Germination took a bit longer, but worth it. Curious however as I purchased a different brand of grass from same company that never did anything. Either way, I do recommend this one

This grass seed mixture was nothing but green food coloring in a mixture of who knows what that did not grow anything. I'm very disappointed.

Great grass seed! Came up fast and grew healthy. Would buy again!

Needed grass in bald spots on my lawn. I followed the instructions, but the grass just didn't come. A few stray blades popped through, but nothing useable, mow-able or even lawn adjacent! Not a great product as advertised

We purchased this seed to fill in a couple of bare spots in our yard. We had a big dip in the yard, so we filled it with dirt before spreading the seeds. Once we spread the seed, we covered it with some grass clippings to help protect the seed. The size of the patch is about 4' x 3'. The second patch area was only about 1 1/2' x 1'. The seeds were easy to spread to spread and sprouted within 4-5 days. The package is a seed mixture, which should look and grow quite nicely.The one pound package has just the right amount of seeds to cover small patches in the yard without a lot of extra that needs to be stored.

I'm doing something different in this review. I usually have some idea about whether the product works before I share my opinion. This time I'm reviewing the fact that the product allows me to experiment on a small portion of my yard and not worry whether or not it works because I only put out $5.00 for Pennington Seeds (a good brand) and if it doesn't work I'm not stuck with a large bag....by the way I used that shaker because it has large enough holes for the seeds to come through. It was only about $3.00 on Amazon....update 2 weeks later beautiful green grass!!
