Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Have to admit... this does REALLY well. Somewhat skeptical at first reading other reviews that touted the amount of mulch compared to seed. But as you can see, the results were amazing... so much so that we’ve reordered twice for the problem areas we just couldn’t seem to fix. Notes: Yes; there’s a good bit of mulch. But it really does help you get much better results than if you had simply purchased seed outright. Previous attempts with straight seed have resulted, for us, in low germination and survival rates. Sure there’s a lot of mulch. But if most of the seed survives.... It covers about 400 square feet... ish. Don’t skimp. It’s meant as a patching product, not a full scale yard replacement product. If you are using it to seed large areas, get enough of the product to cover it thoroughly. Heavy rain WILL wash it away, as it would any product. While it may not be convenient, try planting when you’ll have a week of no rain so you can water by hand. Don’t overwater or leave a sprinkler on it. It will wash away. Very bright sunny days WILL dry it out more quickly. It took ours about four days to sprout and about six days before it became noticeable. That was done with watering whenever the mulch changed appearance. Even seems to work very well when spread throughout areas that seem to be thinning. Haven’t seen ANY weed seeds sprouting.
