I've never seeded a lawn before, so I watched loads of YouTube videos and got the prep right. I'd had the seeds sitting in the bag in front of a window since September, so was a little paranoid that they'd be no good in April. The bad reviews on here had me convinced they'd be dead, especially as grass seeds feel pretty dead and weightless anyway. I sowed a few on a wet paper towel in a plastic container to check they were viable, and pretty much all of them sprouted :D I think the company could improve the user experience by recommending a specific fertiliser. As a newbie, this was a bit of a mindfield, and I was worried that my standard tub of Growmore wouldn't cut the mustard, as it isn't a lawn Starter Fertiliser per se. It seems to have done the job though. After about 3 weeks, I had grass. In 6 weeks, I could definitely call it a lawn. It's been my most rewarding lockdown project so far. There are still a few bare spots, but that's down to excessively shady areas and probably a variation in the subsoil water retention. It's easy enough to scratch the ground up a bit and reseed those sections. So in short, buy these seeds. They'll give you a lush, soft, bright green lawn that makes you want to roll around on it, and they're dirt cheap. Seeding will give you immense satisfaction rather than cheating using turf. You'll also reduce your carbon footprint this way. The negative rules may have been due to old stock, but I doubt it, as grass seeds apparently remain viable for a few years. They're probably down to bad prep or under/overwatering. Use netting to keep the birds off too. And don't make the mistake I made - leaving the bird feeder hanging on the tree over bare tilled soil. The stray seeds will germinate and you'll end up with a wheat crop that you have to remove from the lawn by hand. Good luck!

The seeds are great quality and germinated within two weeks. Only time will tell if they are truly shade-tolerant.

I bought this based on the reviews and pictures shown on the net. I have grown grass before with easy success. This grass really grows slowly and am still waiting to see the final results and whether the outcome is true to the pictures. Delivery was prompt but that's not the point here it's the outcome and the results. I also received no instructions or an email from the company on how to proceed, which is thumbs down for those who are not familiar with growing grass. Value for money, well at the moment still am waiting for results. It's been 3 weeks, so will wait another 3 unless a miracle occurs. Its 3 weeks later, so a total of 6 weeks before first cut at a high setting. You have to wait 48 hours after a rainfall or watering otherwise you pull out the new growth, the soil is soft when moist and the grass will pull out easily. Had a few patches which I refilled with patch fix formula. Overall I am impressed and reccomend to those who have patience for a slow growing grass.

Great quality seed, grew within about ten days.

The grass that sprouts from this seed is really good quality once it gets going and I have not experienced issues with weeds like some of the other reviews suggest. However, I have found in both of the 2 years I have been using this particular seed that it takes 3 weeks+ to start germinating - covered with a layer of top dressing and regular watering. I have also noticed that the success rate is quite low. For that reason I give it 3 stars as it’s a good quality finish but too much faff to get what you want from it.

I put them down on soil and within 5 days I noticed shoots. The pic is exactly 7 days later. I didn’t even really try hard to prepare or anything just a tiny bit of topsoil and watered it. The following day the rain started and it rained on and off all week. Worked and I’m happy. I ordered another bag just in case there are any bare spots as my lawn is on a slight slope.

Update 22/08/26 Either Rainwater is the magic ingredient or someone at the grass factory saw my previous review, realised there had been a technical error and switch on my grass seed! I posted my original response 2 or 3 days ago, since then we have had the first significant drop of rain since Christmas and my grass is busting out all over. So I thought, "Do the right thing" and would be buyers that this wonderful grass seed DOES grow! Just make sure that you also order some local rain when you buy yours and hope that the manufacturers have set every see to the on position! Slightly Older review This is the best bird seed I ever bought. The local pigeons were all looking a little under nourished before I decided to do some long overdue repairs to my lawn. Bought a bag of this stuff, sewed it, lightly covered it with top soil, watered it, Temperature has been just right for growing grass these past 3 weeks, lord knows I seem to be out with the lawn mower cutting the existing grass every few days. And the final result is, 3 or 4 very fat wood pigeons and some random spots of freshly laid top soil. So if your looking for Birdseed that will not go to waste, this is the stuff to buy. If however you are looking for something to repair your patchy lawn, Your local garden centre will, i'm sure have just the thing. Does this company sell fish, I only ask because we have a very hungry heron living local and it seems unfair to feed the pigeons without giving the old heron the odd meal.

This is an excellent , high -quality grass seed mixture particularly in the uk climate . A premium lawn blend

Bin mit dem Grassamen sowie dem Verkäufer sehr zufrieden. Sehr gute Keimrate und schnelle Lieferung. Der Rasen sieht echt toll aus. Hätte noch etwas mehr benötigt. Nur schade das der Grassamen hier bei Amazon.de nicht mehr oder nicht ständig angeboten wird. Würde das Produkt jedenfalls wieder kaufen.

Già dopo 1 settimana i primi fili sono spuntati. Peccato perchè le formiche hanno fatto strage di semi...per quest'inverno sono a posto! Invece io ho dovuto ripiantare nelle zone in cui avevano fatto man bassa.

Buen producto, comprare mas sin pensarlo, buena calidad, cesped muy bueno y crece con eficacia*****

Excellent . J’ai humidifié la terre et juste jeté des poignés d’herbe sur le terrain je précise qu’il yavait que de la terre même pas d’herbe Je suis ravie du résultat au bout de deux semaines darraosage le résultat est top. J’ai arrosé tout les soirs !!!!!

Sembradas a primeros de septiembre y muy bien, sí que necesitan un gran aporte de agua, por lo demás a ver cómo se comportan cuando llegue el calor del próximo verano
