Review: I love this brand of Midnight seed - Wow! The new coating helps a lot with germination. Three years ago I used another brand of Midnight when I completely restored my entire lawn and didn't have great germination. I tried this brand and had better luck. This year, I over-seeded bare spots after having to repair many areas due to sewer and downspout repairs in my yard. I ended up over-seeding the entire lawn in late August. The coating helps a lot! Yes, many complain the coating reduces the amount of seed you actually get, but I prefer the coated seeds, like the name brand expensive bluegrass seed that's coated seed for years now. I get better results with coated seed. Protects seed viability? Who knows. Yes it costs more, but the end results are what matters. Furthermore, many folks forget to use starter fertilizer. They forget to continue to use starter after the seed is slowly growing too. I do NOT! It's a must! I like to use the name brand starter in bare spots because it is finer and dissipates better in the ground, especially when only keeping seed moist. When over-seeding my established lawn, I use whatever, but still prefer the finer granular name brand starter fertilizer. Also keeping the seed moist and cooled off during high heat is a must too. We are in a moderate drought where I live in Ohio, but I've been watering. Many neighbors are shocked at my lawn and are asking me what to do now that it's fall. I told them what I do and the products I use. I've had 2 delivery gentleman ask me what I'm using after dropping off my packages. I'm mowing 2x per week, while most are still not mowing at all and haven't mowed in weeks. I highly recommend this product! This seed does take a bit to establish, like most bluegrass seed, so patience and dedication to the future is required. If over-seeding late fall/winter, I recommend not broadcasting crabgrass prevention until the last moment possible in spring. This seed has overwintered well for me here in Ohio. It's a gorgeous dark green color that's fairly disease resistant and drought tolerant considering bluegrass seed.

Seed Super Store in Buffalo New York has certified Midnight, but it is quite expensive. **Q: Is this a fine leaf and is it self spredding?** A: This is a very fine leaf. Not a lot of support to walk on, but on the flip side, if you are mulching, a fine blade will break down and return to the soil quicker. KBG spreads via rhizomes which are underground roots designed for spreading the plant laterally. This root shoots out an inch or so and shoots up a new daughter plant, then spreads a little more and repeats. Each seed planted should do this. One seed will not spread but so far, so if you come back down the road with a thatch rake or mechanical tool that will break this root, the daughter plant should then become a mother plant and start spreading again. Once established for a few months, you can put down a pre-emergent herbicide like Prodiamine or something else which will prevent 99% of the annual weeds that pop up in lawns, which is the majority of weeds you have in lawns. The other weeds you can hand pull, including the root, or get a small envelope moistener with a sponge on one end and fill it with Glyphosate and apply directly to the perineal plant you need to kill. Once dead, this weed will decompose and leave a dead spot. Since the pre-emergent will prevent new plants, the rhizomes should spread into this area and fill in the void over time. Just avoid this seed like the plague if you have pets. I put this seed down as a test and it is gorgeous and I love it, but my 500 sq. ft. test in a 10,000 sq. ft. back yard failed miserably due to pet urine. with 10,000 sq. ft. of lawn, it was not like they only urinated in that 500 sq. ft. patch, and there are so many dead spots it looks like black patches on a Dalmatian. If you don't have pets or plan on getting pets, then you're fine. Otherwise, choose a different type of seed that is highly tolerant of pet urine. I live in the transition zone and found Zoysia grass to work very well for my situation. **Q: Does this have good tread wear if there is a lot of traffic on it...say from a very active dog?** A: Yes, but you have try to keep the dog off the grass until it gets established. When I first planted the grass it came up great but you have to make sure your soil is right (fertilized) and get well established. Once it's established you will love it! **Q: Can anyone tell me the seed to area ratio? I've never planted grass before and have no idea how much I'd need for my yard less than an acre.** A: Our lawn is 1200 sq ft. We established by hand weeding including undesirable grass, successive aerations & topdressings & overseeding. We used 10# the first year, 5# the next few years in 2 applications, and now a 5# bag lasts about 3 years. We continue to hand weed & overseed to maintain but it's not much at all. A neglected lawn is a headache, a small welltended lawn is beautiful. Lots and lots and lots of lime for this grass. Lots of deep water & cool springs and autumns. Think White Cliffs of Dover. This grass isn't a good choice for much of the USA, check your zone and rainfall before committing. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this brand of Midnight seed *by G***R on 22 September 2025* Wow!

Once it was growing, it was lovely. ### ⭐ outspride grass seed *by A***A on 27 July 2011* I was eager to try after reading reviews. I pulled up and turned a 61x16 back yard which was a lot of work. I rented a small tiller after putting down peat. I used starter fertilizer to ensure seeds came up and i covered with a mulch made for grass seed. It sprouted in some sections after about 4 days which reviewers said Midnight would take about 3 weeks. We are now into 3 and 1/2 weeks. It is a disaster. Even though i am still hopeful the remainder of the grass will come in only a fourth of the seeds sprouted and are growing. I could deal with this and even that the rest do not sprout even though we have watered every day and it is a rainy season here in Chicago. The horrible thing is that even though there is grass on a small part of yard, my yard is dotted with these plants that look like they might be weeds. Most of the plants have long thin leaves that could also be a flower. So not much grass but about one third of the yard has at least two inches of weeds. I have pulled out the ones I can reach but since I am still hopeful that grass will grow I cannot walk on ground to pull them out and there are very many. When I think of all the work I have gone through and still need to do to pull out all those plants and probably have to reseed. I will NEVER buy anything like seeds or plants from Amazon again. I certainly will not buy from this seller. I thought this would be much better because of reviews and the type of grass but I would have been much better off buying a brand at the local store with a higher percentage of filler. I would have had a better lawn and a lot less weeds or plants or whatever they are to get rid of. ## Frequently Bought Together - Outsidepride Midnight Kentucky Bluegrass Seed - 10 Lbs.
