no good for me
Date:August 24, 2012
"I tried this grass seed to repair dry patches in my front lawn. It's cheap, compared to the name brands, but I thought it would work well. Unfortunately, I've had no luck with it -- do not see grass growing at all where I planted the seeds. True, it has been a dry year, but still...I expected better results, and am disappointed."

We buy several bags of this every year
Date:May 10, 2011
"This is the only grass seed I've bought the past 4 yrs. After stuggling with a lousy sodded lawn for about 10 yrs and watching it die out every hot summer, we finally dug the yard up and seeded it down with this seed. Our yard has maybe 3" of topsoil and sandy soil underneath. We seeded heavily the first year, watered twice a wk during a hot summer and ended with a great looking lawn. It's never burnt off since with a minimum of watering once a wk during dry spells. We over seed spring and late fall with All Purpose seed and I wouldn't waste money on the other expensive brands."

Top Quality!
Date:July 1, 2009
"I filled in some bare patches in our shady backyard with this, and did a separate patch with some Scott's Shade seed. Both have done well, but this brand has come in thicker. It's a better price than the brand names, especially when it goes on sale, when the price is unbeatable!."

Poor Quality
Date:May 31, 2009
"I purchased 8 bags of this grass seed to overseed my lawn 3 weeks ago. I am still waiting for it to germinate. I believe all the preprep work was done as it should have been. My son who did the work has 8 years of landscape experience and even he can't figure out why it hasn't germinated yet. I bought it on sale but am so disappointed with this product and will likely never purchase it again."

Works well
Date:September 19, 2008
"I buy this every year to overseed my lawn in the spring. Mix it with some earth (top soil or black earth) and then spread the earth in the areas you want to improve. It works well and is moderately priced."

good product for shade
Date:September 16, 2008
"This product is good for shade but must have adequate water to continue to thrive. I tried under some large trees, once it sprouted it grew well but after first cut it started to wilt until I watered it well. I have a very large area and do not water. I rely on rain only. So to maintain the lawn from theese seeds it needs a good watering program."

Good For The Price
Date:September 14, 2008
"This grass seed works well but you must pay attention to proper preparation of the soil. It does not work well in heavy shaded ares. Other products germinate better and require less seed per sq.ft. This product does work well for over seeding purposes."

More pluses than minuses
Date:July 11, 2008
"A lawn expert might not like this blend, but for an average city lot it is great.
A high end blend would be mostly fine leaved grasses and mostly Perennial grasses which tend to be slower to establish.
This product appears to be mostly the faster Annual and Bi-Annual types, and the grass blades are quite thick and coarse.
But for the dead areas that you can get when the snow banks disappear, this is great for a quick green up, and fills in quickly.
I have used this for many years in a row now, and I do find that it will be thin the 2nd or 3rd year when the Annual and Bi-Annual grasses die out if the Perennial grasses haven't had a chance to take over.
.
I tried something last year that I plan to do again this year... I put seed down in the LATE FALL (when the snow already started to fall) where I knew the one snow bank from the next door driveway always kills my grass. I found that seed sprouted and started to grow before we could even get out there to do any spring work and about a month before CT had it on sale at the bargain price for the first time."

Great for High Traffic or Shady areas...
Date:June 4, 2008
"Got a lot of grand-kids or critters running around the yard every summer? Do you have a problem area that doesn't get a lot of sun or moisture? We have an area between our garage and house that sees a huge volume of traffic and very little sun. We had been thinking of laying paving stones in this smaller area (still quite an expense). Two small bags of the CT Seed, 3 weeks of watering and voila! No more dry scorched earth. Seems to be holding up well, but time will tell."
