Turf Builder Grass Seed Bermudagrass with Fertilizer and Soil Improver, Drought-Tolerant, 8 lbs.

This was a great help.

Followed instructions on the bag , watered twice a day for two weeks, no sprouts. Date on the bag showed product was several years old. The seeds sprouted like crazy after 18 days and when the temp. hit 80 deg. F.So i amended my original review.

Bag was very small

Need to follow the directions for this stuff to work. I airated the soil spread the seeds and water twice daily most of the area grass is growing. I was impressed as other brands did not have the same effect.

Works great. Planted in 90 degree weather and no issues. I think the key was having an automatic sprinkler that went off every hour for 2 minutes. It kept the ground moist, but no standing water. Had bought this same product a few years ago and had no success. But, I was new to caring for grass and didn't realize how much water is needed. I suspect the majority of negative reviews comes from lack of watering. It says it will cover 8,000 sqft and I suspect that is accurate. I overseeded as I'm new to growing seed and had low confidence, but it looks like a waste now. Grass is coming in really thick. Which seems like overkill for Bermuda as it seems to spread easily on it's own. Not as important as watering, but I suspect another issue is people aren't tilling the ground enough. I don't know this for sure, but suspect the small plants would have trouble with roots if the ground is tight. I tilled it with a pick axe (ton of work) and then raked it smooth. After the ground was lose and smoothed out, then put the seed down and very gently took a leaf rack (yard broom) to help nudge the seed into a slight bit of soil. Only hard part was tilling the earth. A tiller is a really good idea for this if you don't need the exercise.
