JRK 4 Fescue, Low Grow No Mow Grass Seed Mix - 3 lbs

Planted and had grass within 10 days, in Upper MI. Ideal weather conditions. But so far very happy

I put down seed in shady areas and sunny areas. The shady areas that continuously stayed moist germinated better. The sunny areas haven’t germinated yet (9 days). I understand this isn’t the best time to put down seed either. I’ll keep watering and watch as it grows.

Grass seed is expensive but this stuff is really expensive so I took all the steps to get a good stand. I had filled in a pool so I started with fresh topsoil. I lightly tilled to loosen the soil. I spread the seed and I did not skimp. I covered with chopped straw then set up sprinkler to run twice daily. The seed finally sprouted after 2+ weeks. Oh, this was in the fall. It has continued to grow as I live in zone 7 and winter has been mild. You can see from the pics, there are patches of really nice, short dark green grass. Mixed in are very tall, light green tufts of grass. I guess I will spot kill the tall stuff and re-seed with more grass. The growth was very patch so I am glad I bought the 10# bag because I will be repeating the process this spring to try and get more coverage. Overall, I would buy again because there is no other alternative.

I love the look and feel of this grass. Mine has grown no more than 4".. Even if it grows taller once esta lished I dont think there will ever be a need to mow..My dogs and cat love love love it. They are constantly laying in it under our mulberry tree.. They won't even poop in it..lol..They go to the other side of yard so they dont ruin their area..Its not toxic to my pets so they can graze as much as they want.The only negative is I only had a 10x10 and 6x10 area to seed and had to use the full bag of seed. So now I have none left to fill in the patches, edges etc.. It started sprouting 7 days in. My grass is still young I have no doubt by next spring it will be lush,weed free and maintenance free. I did buy another bag..but I think I was over watering it...Obviously having problems keeping the fur babies off also...so if the next bag fills everything in then I will put 5 stars...I know I didnt plant it properly so for it to grow is already a win in my book...plus I think I should have left the soil crappy like it was..I tried to fertilize it and such..lol...not needed at all.

4 stars because it is a bit pricey. But, this seed is great. It was very easy to plant and grow in the fall here in the northeast. And, in an area that has been difficult for me to seed and cultivate a lawn in previous years. A little straw and daily watering and I was impressed with the growth. Virtually no maintenance was required this summer- the first full summer after I planted the grass. Looks like a nice long fescue grass. Some weeds did grow in but were handled easy enough. Just reseeded this fall so I expect an even better cover next spring.

I have the most beautiful lawn in the neighborhood thanks to this seed. The grass is very fine bladed. It came up easily with daily watering. We applied it with a fertilizer mixed in. The first use was probably 85% germination. Now that it's been open a while, successive areas have been more like 50% germination.

I live in northern Wilmington near the line to PA which has soil that is heavy in clay. I buzzed the lawn down with a lawnmower and then used the weed wacker to buz it down to the ground. After that, I spread topsoil to have a new layer of soil. I put this seed down with this starter fertilizer and covered it with straw. The straw I got from Lowes in compressed rectangular bails. This was done last fall and came up nice. I did not notice it taking an exceptional amount of time as some people said on here. I did use humic and biochar that Doc on YouTube sells on amazon. My lawn this spring came up like a beautiful golf course. It is fabulous. This seed is kind of pricey but I am sold that it is great. I do think How to with Doc and his stuff helped a lot! His fertilizer is also pricey but awesome. After putting down the Doc fertilizer I am going to hit it with Superjoice with added microbes. I did put down organic matter a couple of weeks ago. The microbes will break down the organic matter which is chick (baby chicken) feed which I got at Tractor Supply or I think you can get it on amazon. I have some weeds and clover which I will stray Tenacity on it to get rid of them. Great product. Use a surfactant with it to make it stick to the weeds along with a dye to see where you sprayed.

High quality seed. Very pleased. A++++++
