All Weeds No Grass
My yard was just empty dirt before and now its completely covered in sticker weeds... there is no grass or clover in my lawn! Just weeds. Now it is worse than having just plain dirt!

    We laid this about a week ago, and covered it with a topsoil/mulch combo. The bag was smaller than expected and that it only seems to grow well in heavy shade under my trees. There may be other factors involved, but anywhere there is sun, it has not sprouted grass at all, and there is minimal clover, where as under my trees it's abundant, and lovely. I followed directions and it's been growing rather fast.

    From dirt to grass!! My small "lawn" was a pile of dirt and rocks behind my house. I wanted something low maintenance and I heard micro clover was a great solution. My pile of dirt is now a lovely green area! I was worried because it took about 4 days to see some growth but I followed the directions on the package, watering 2 -3 times a day and amazingly it worked. I like the first bag so much I bought a second to work on other areas in my yard.

    I have the opposite of a green thumb and was still able to grow grass in my yard with this seed mixture. Our yard was 90% dirt from years of abuse and neglect. In almost two weeks it already looks lush. Since we had so little grass I over-seeded; 3 bags for about 1000 square feet. I wet the ground with an oscillating sprinkler. Spread the seed liberally with a hand spreader. Wet the ground again. Shook a thin layer of mulched leaves then wet it again. For the first week and a half I ran the sprinkler for 10 minutes several times a day to keep the ground moist. After that I gave the yard a good 20 minute drink twice a day. I'm about 15 miles east of the customer in Columbia that had success with this mix. It must be great for the Mid-Atlantic.

      Good germination and exactly as advertised
      I planted the grass seed very quickly, I did not use the compost like the directions said, I just raked it in and kept it wet. Even with just 3% microclover there is plenty of clover showing up to feed the grass. I could have done a much better job seeding the lawn but it still came up and is looking great after the 2nd mowing. I did use a prefertilizer and I kept it very moist for about a month. I did have lots of weed seeds come up but my lawn used to a be a fallow field so that is to be expected. I will update the picture when it is all filled in and matured.

      This is by far the best grass seed we have ever bought!
      We have been removing grass and reseeding with different grass seed several times over the last 14 years. We were about to give up and look for fake grass until we found this. We received our seed 3 weeks ago. We removed the old grass, tilled the soil, and spread the seeds out over approximately 300 square feet. We topped it off lightly with some top soil from Home Depot. We have used the entire bag on this area once we reseeded. It grew really fast. Within 3 days, we saw tiny microclovers and the grass followed soon after. Within 2 weeks, the grass was just over 2 inches tall. The grass looks dense and we haven't even the benefit of full-grown microclovers yet! This is by far the best grass seed we have ever bought!

      Perfect for my land
      I lightly raked up the dead grass in the bare spots, then tossed the grass seed on the mostly bare patches of ground, covering them well, then got a bag of potting soil and tossed a thin layer on top to hide the seed from the birds and to hold moisture. Then turned on the sprinklers almost daily for about 2 minutes. In 10 days the seed sprouted and I've now cut it for the first time and it's really filled & blended in well. Overall, I am happy with it.

        Spent $100's of dollars preparing the site, dozens of hours in labor and nothing grew. 2 bags of seed and not one sprouting. Don't know history of seeds, age, where stored, how stored etc. Something went wrong. Got refund from Home Depot but nows it's to late to redo. Not to mention $ and labor wasted.

        The grass grew wonderfully, its about half grown now, i seeded about 2 weeks ago so thats pretty quick. Both in sun and shade. My full sun area didnt grow as quick, but i think i didnt water enough to compensate for the sun. I didnt necessarily get too much clover growth yet but it might be slightly slower growing. Id say its roughly 70% grass, 30% clover. I just hope the clover doesnt get killed off. So far, im happy with it though. Tried to add a photo but its impossible to add a photo under 1MB while being 400 px tall and still be able to see it so cool cool lol

        Not sure if it was the shipping, or the quality. The bag just seemed more flaky and dusty than actual grass seed. Had to purchase more grass seed and bought another brand that was available in store.
