Pennington Contractors Central Grass Seed Mix, 20 lb

No seed will grow if you just throw it on top of the ground and hope. Preparation is a lot of what makes growing grass successful. But this seed is amazing and my pictures prove it. Pic 1 was May 17. Pic 2 was May 27. 10 days and amazing results. My process: Rototill 4 inches, seed with a handheld spreader, cover with topsoil, level, more seed, light topsoil, straw. Then water in the morning if it doesn't rain. Is it a lot of work, yes. Does it yield great results, also yes. It grows nice and thick and is so far durable if you miss a day of watering.

We are overseeding lawn cause i killed it when i killed clover. I was worried about contractor grass seed. Never used it. But this is quality seed. 1st it is coated with green fertilizer so its a smart grass seed. It spouted in one week! We been watering of course and 2nd week it is lush and thick. Some spots still needs to be water cause sprinkler didn't hit that area. We also bought a tri-pod and a small rotating sprinkler from Temu. Both cost about $13.00 ea. The small black fan sprinkler you can control the width of spray and it covers 19 ft area with water all the way open. Love it. Both covers a lot of area and work great. The tri-pod at store was $55. but this was $13. Bought both at Temu online .Just giving heads up to save you money. It does take a week to recieve delivery.

It is a good buy. It took a week to seed grow

I moved in to a home in January of this year with a huge yard, but it was ALL mud!! I laid out this grass seed with the Pennington full season lawn fertilizer in March. I was skeptical because the seeds were just sitting on top of the mud and there wasnt much progress after a few weeks. It is June 1st today, I took the grass pictures this morning for this review. I mowed my 3.5 foot grass for the first time 2 weeks ago, and again on Thursday, and its already growing out up to 4 or 5 inches. Today is Monday morning. This worked BETTER than expected. But it did take my lawn longer to take than most the reviews already posted.

This is beyond a doubt the best grass seed I have ever used. Made for Northern climate April and May are the perfect time to put it down. Took 9ndays to come in but 98 percent of it germinated. Methodoly was the lay down dirt and tamp itin. Used cars garden weasel to rough it up and applied the seed with a solo cup. A heavy application. Went back and retamped it all. Grass is stunning. After the first application took I laid down about 15 pounds in areas that were not as think. That just came in. Could not be happier with this product. Neighbors are suprised at how thick it is.

I haven’t received my order for the crass seed mix. I was supposed to get it two days ago. Great because it was going to rain for two days. I was told that they didn’t have it at the nearest warehouse so they asked me was I sure that I still wanted the product? Why if I ordered it I want the product. The real reason for the delay is because they made a mistake on the price. The price is supposed to be $24. I bought it for nine dollars and some cents, like $10 for it. Now they’ve slowed down the delivery date. So if they think that I’m going to cancel my order because of the longevity of the wait period to get the seed. That’s not gonna work for the seller. I’m gonna put this out there that maybe Pennington shouldn’t be selling on Amazon. Im a prime member and have been for years. So a relay on the day delivery date regardless of the mistake that they made on the price. I don’t accept the other reason why the orders was delayed it wasn’t a warehouse situation. That’s a lie and I want my product within 24 hours or I’ll I’ll go to social media and talk about Pennington everywhere.

Not great germination rates.

This is excellent seed. I used Scott's expensive seed and 2 weeks later NOTHING! This started growing in 5 days and by 7 days you could see it all. It's fresh and covered in fertilizer, Scott's was brown dried out. I used other Pennington seed and had similar results, it's just better!
