### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The seed is sprouting
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 6, 2024*

Had some outside work done in early December with walkway and front porch, yard in area was torn up by equipment used. Ordered the Winter Rye to throw on the now bare and torn up lawn-the rye is now about an inch high, and should continue through MId Spring, at which time, i plan to resod area adjacent to new walkway and porch. The stuff was not cheap, but it does work, and if you have lawn torn up in late Fall or early Winter, the Winter Rye is the best for getting the ground covered and for holding the soil from washing away. Another use is for helping replenish your garden's nutrients by planting rye in Fall and then plowing or hoeing it all in before planting garden the next year. Last, this Winter Rye seed was high quality, i have used Winter several other times, and this was the best quality rye i have ever bought.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These really grow!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 1, 2026*

These seeds produced some serious grass! I had a couple of holes filled and wanted some grass to cover, but it wasn’t warm enough for typical grass. So I sprinkled quite a few seeds on the bare areas. When the first ones germinated, it didn’t seem like much, so I did it again. No raking or mulching. It took a few more days, but I have very thick green grass on those spots!
