Miracle-GroEverGreen 17402 Multi Purpose Lawn Seed 1.6 kg, Brown

I bought this product a few weeks ago and already my grass has started to grow! Bought the same seed last year as I had a patch of dirt that was covered in bark that needed replacing with grass. We watched a helpful YouTube video on how to correct grow grass and the results were amazing! This grass is better quality grass than our normal grass. It’s thicker, healthier and more green. So we decided to buy some more to go over our normal grass to make it look healthier.

After removing all the horrible shurbs and hedges along the 2 sides of my garden to reclaim playing space, I need the bare patch grassed. I did put in alot of effort and work before putting in the seeds. Raked in and removed all stone (as much as I could) down to a couple of inches. I think I did cover the area with more seeds than recommended but thought I only get one chance to do this. So after a days work following the instructions from the box, I was all done.This is where the TLC comes in, I watered the soil (grass) every morning and evening. Did this for 2 weeks and started to see my little babies all popping out from the ground one morning. Carried on watering for another week until they were fully established. Now I have a nice lush (very green) grass along the side which makes the old grass in the middle look anaemic. Really please that I am going to buy another box for other areas, straight after I finish writing this review...which is now..

Like other reviewers I sowed this seed and raked it in - no growth.Then I just covered it with a thin layer of compost, patted it down, gave it a water and the next morning it was all sprouting well.

Brought this a long time ago (about 5-6 months before writing this) and was a little worried about the negative reviews that this wouldn't work and leave us with nothing but a hole in our pockets but we REALLY needed it and I decided to go for it. Backstory is that we moved into a new place and the entire garden was trees. Just trees, all the kind you can just about get two hands around and it looked a mess, you couldn't step anywhere. We had them cut down, and all the roots dug out, which took days of hard labour and we were left with solid dirt, which we wanted to turn to grass. This box covered the whole garden, I can't remember the exact dimensions but we were doubling up to account for birds eating any seeds and because we had so much ground to cover. Literally! I would guess our garden is about 30sqmWe took an afternoon out and followed the directions to the letter, even stamping the seeds into our sad little dirt where, of course, there's minimal fencing and a good few neighbours had a laugh at us shuffling about like penguins, but it was all worth it. Within a week there were little shoots coming up, give it another week and we had a fine dusting of grass, and within a month we had a full lawn. We haven't mowed it all yet, given the weather and just moving, there hasn't been a way to, but we wanted it to grow to a good potential before we touched it anyway. Now we have a healthy, THICK, green lawn that you would never imagine was a literal forest and a bit of a death trap not long ago.Going to be honest, we didn't water it at all, but that was due to the rain over the next week that did the job for us, otherwise I would advise you keep it well watered as per instructions to make sure you get a great garden. You'll need a decent rake, and some shoes you don't mind getting muddy and you're set!

I've bought many of these over the years to reseed my lawn and sometimes I can see growth and other times none whatsoever or some patchy growth. I have dethatched, aerated and fertilized and also keep the soil moist prior to seeding each time. I've tried this throughout different times of the year and ar different times in Spring to Summer with no change.I have had much better results with Canada Grass (also on Amazon) it works within days and it can work any time of the year since it's made to survive Canadian Winters!! Would recommend that instead as I always get results

It worked just as well as other brands. No complaints

A totally EXCELLENT product!! Pretty much bird-proof it really does the biz. Sprinkle generously (I use an egg cup with my two front fingers over the top allowing a little slit for the seed to drop through as I use it as a shaker) and then cover the seed loosely with compost. That makes a "little oven" that allows the seed to heat up and germinate quickly. (Don't forget to water it though!) The compost shows you where you've been and you can see the growth out of the dark compost. The compost also hides the seed from the birds, but EverGreen seed is pretty much bird-proof against all but the most persistent winged pests/friends! Can't recommend it highly enough and you will get GREAT results. I always have.

Never again! I have used this product to cover patches and to thickening up the entire lawn. Bought a second box as the first one did not cover entire lawn. Nearly 80% of the lawn area I had to apply the seeds for the second time as nothing happened after the first application and it took nearly 6 to 8 weeks for the new grass to grow very thinly and only about 1 inch. The new grass is very fast growing, and only 3 to 4 days after mowing the lawn looks awful with uneven patches.I do not recommend this product because; (1) it's poor quality and undisclosed seed type and percentage mix, (2) a high percentage of the seeds fail to germinate and what does germinate takes very long time, (3) definitely not a 'general purpose' product and only suitable for farm land use where the cattles can benefit from it's fast growing properties.
