Pennington Smart Patch Bermuda Grass Seed, Fertilizer and Mulch, 10 lb

Within 48 hours several ant colonies decided to make home inside of my patch repair... they even took it 10 ft away and made a new giant mound nearby with the ingredients of this bag.... Update: originally rated this 1 star but I kept watering it for 2 weeks every day. The patches almost completely filled in now with new grass to my surprise. It was only effective on the spots that I removed the dead grass from though. Cannot use it on top of dead grass, has to be fresh ground. But took the bare spot in my front lawn to 90% filled in 2-3 weeks. Taking my review from 1 to 5! Maybe the ants helped after all...

Did nothing. More mulch than actual seed. What a waste of big money at $35 a bag. 7 days, what a joke it’s been a month. I even tried to pick out just some seeds from the leftover in the bag and add it, but nothing. Not sure how they got great reviews. All my son did was rip up some lawn next to the driveway. Guess I’ll see what a patch of sod can do.

I'm lazy. I sprinkled it around on the bare spots of my lawn. I watered as often as I remembered. It took two or three weeks to come up. By the end of summer, it had filled in nicely. I would buy it again.

This seed is great for what it's advertised as for the most part. I would give 5 stars if I understood the purpose of mixing chewings fescue in with bermuda. I used this seed multiple times to fill bare spots in my bermuda. Once the weather got consistently over 90° I never even saw the fescue germinate anyway which is fine because I bought this for the bermuda seed and this type of fescue is not likely to survive where bermuda would do well in the heat. I shared the cultivars because it's important to note that Sahara is really only a good choice for the south. I live in the southern transition zone so I probably won't be buying more of this, which is a shame because it seems to germinate faster than the other varieties bred for my zone. The package says southern sunny lawn so I can't blame Pennington because I don't live far enough south for this variety to be the best fit. This seed is also considerably cheaper than the cultivars bred for the transition zone and if you really just want to fill in bare spots it will work the data I found on Sahara indicates it is susceptible to winter kill and frost damage compared to other varieties like yukon or riviera.

I have used Texas Bermuda smart seed where the seeds are enclosed in the fertilizer which was very effective. This smart seed the fertilizer is enclosed separately and has proved to be less effective in producing grass. The

This product is fricken' amazing! You do have to keep it watered regularly (hard to remember sometimes), but even in spots where I have not got grass to grow for several years, I NOW HAVE GRASS! A little expensive, but it does work. I did have to reapply in some areas. Definitely "rough-up" soil before spreading to give it a better chance to permiate the ground.

I tried to select one star on this item, but the site will not let me select less than two. This item is a waste of money. I used it following directions and all I have now are slightly raised brown spots. I would not recommend this item.

Went exactly by the instructions the day it arrived and have not had even a sprout of grass. Very disappointed. It's been almost 2 weeks. Not even a sprout has come up. Very disappointed
