Growtrax Biodegradable Grass Seed - 50 SQFT Bermuda Rye - Grass Seed and Fertilizer for Lawns, Dog Patches & Shade - Just Water & Grow - No Fake or Artificial Grass

So depending on the time of year will vary how fast your the grass will grow. We initially bought this product during spring and it grew very fast. We bought it again during winter, and it has been a slow growth. It still grew during winter, but definitely not the way when we initially bought it. Some of the seeds did not sink down all the way during the winter session. You really do need to spray it heavy to get the seeds to get into your dirt. Either way it is a great buy and is perfect for what we needed. A lot of our existing grass went dormant for winter, and turned yellow. However, this grass stayed green all yr long. We are definitely trying to have it takeover our entire lawn. Recommend that you use it during a spring season if you want fast results.

With the first watering we noticed large holes in the structure, in some areas. I did use the rain setting on my watering wand. So far I have not seen any grass from using this. I did make a return and they actually requested the product back. It was half devolved into the ground. It would seem reasonable that they requeste a photo vs. me throwing the product in a Ziploc and sending it. Amazon customer service did help me with the return and ultimately I did not have to send it back. As you can see from the pictures the location I used the roll has had issues all along. I used another product surrounding the roll I bought from Amazon. That grass grew amazingly. The I removed the packed down roll that was not producing grass, reseeded it and covered with another product. It is now starting to grow but not nearly as well as the other product I purchased. It's as if the roll kinda affected my soil. In my opinion I should be reimbursed for the water I wasted with their product. You can clearly see it failed.

I'm in the TX panhandle and it has been dry this summer. I could not seem to keep this stuff wet enough. With my first attempt, I mostly relied on my irrigation system to keep this stuff moist, but even letting the system run for 10 minutes every 2 hours was not enough. The patches that dried out were easily picked up by the wind and scattered about my yard.I tried again a 2nd time, watering by hand, and in shadier locations, but that has not produced results. It does look like the GrowTrax provided enough shade and a bit of a moisture barrier to help my existing bermudagrass fill in a desired area.

I have tried putting down several different brands of grass seed in a particular area of my lawn and have had no luck. I was about to try some of the "spray grasses" but stumbled across this product and glad I did. Here is a quick rundown of my experience. (Area I used this on is sunny half the day and shady the rest of the day.)When I went to purchase I thought 50 square feet would be plenty for my needs. It "just" covered the small area I wanted to do. So to me, it was expensive in comparison to the amount of yard I was using it on. It would be wise to actually measure the area vs. "guestimating" like I did to be safe.The directions included are very clear and straight forward. I followed them to the T and had no issues as expected. This rolls out very nicely and quickly. My watering regimen was three times a day for several weeks. Morning, Afternoon, and Evening.Photo showing the material being freshly put down was 7/31 and my after photo was taken 9/15. (6 weeks)This did the trick and the grass has been doing very well since.So in short, I was happy with the outcome and this did what I needed. Two thumbs up.One tip is to be sure your area is well saturated before putting it down and be on top of the watering schedule for best results.

Follow directions and make sure you keep it wet. Only thing is grass does not grow out. Where you put it is where the grass will be.

The seed and fertilizer mat was easy to roll out; however, very few of the seeds germinated. I used the mat in two areas, one in the shade and one in the sun. I had the same poor results in both locations. It is possible that the seed was old. Now, I did plant another brand of seed in an area close to it with better results.

I can’t tell you if this stuff actually works because no matter how “saturated” it was any amount of wind blew it up. Putting a “thin layer” of dirt like they recommend doesn’t help either. The wind just blows it all up. Unless you can guarantee a few weeks without any wind above 5mph don’t waste your money. Put it towards sod so then the wind doesn’t really matter.

When I initially laid this grass carpet out I didn't think it was going to do good but it really works covering bare areas. I will be purchasing more.
