Pennington Smart Seed Sun and Shade Grass Mix 3 lb

I was hesitant because this is so little actual seed and the fertilizer part makes it seem like more, but this seed has done amazing! I planted it with no prep April 25 and forgot about it. Some of the area was a little lower lying so water settles there but we had little rain in the past weeks and as I mowed June 12, wow, I see not only did it fill in the whole area where it was cast, but it actually was enough growth to go ahead and run the mower over the area. The color is a slightly lighter green, in keeping with the main yard. The KY fescue usually shows up kind of dark green/blue. I scattered the leftover out back in shade and I see it's popping up well there too.

I use these seeds to help the grass grow after our dog urinates on an area and turns it brown. I find that I get good growth with these seeds especially if the ground surface is prepped so the seed are touching the dirt. I was surprised to see one area grow since he urinated on it so frequently.

Works great for small patches about the size of a washcloth. Didn't work much on bigger spots.

As described

We ordered this seed "blind". Didn't know anything about it , although we have used Pennington brand before. The seed came on schedule, was exactly as described, and carefully packaged. We're in upstate NY. We scratched up the bare spots, sprinkled the seed on them, and covered with a very light topsoil on each patch. Watered carefully, sometimes more than once a day. Keep everything damp. Within about 10 days (mid September) it began to sprout. After two weeks there was a fair amount of tiny sprouts of grass. After about three weeks, nearly every patch was full of young grass. Now, (about 5 weeks) it's hard to tell where many of the bare patches were. The grass looks good. We're very pleased with the seed. We'll certainly use it again in the spring on a few remaining spots we didn't seed this fall. We'd highly recommend this seed.
