ScottsTurf Builder Grass Seed - Perennial Ryegrass Mix, 3-P

Great seed grows fast

I live in Phoenix. I failed trying to grow bermudagrass last summer, and I was in a hurry to get grass in. I don't intend to overseed in the future, but I needed some turf on my dirt ASAP.I'm dealing with native Phoenix dirt, so I don't take my first attempt with bermuda to really be a failure. I had much different results with this.I scalped what little areas of bermudagrass that had grown, and I saved the dirt/grass clipping mixture. I laid some fresh composted dirt down and mixed it with the native dirt. Then I laid another small layer of the composted dirt , spread out the seed, and dressed it with the grass clippings/dirt mixture. I figured that, given my lack of success over the summer, that I would need to replant some areas after a few weeks.But that didn't happen.I timed my planting with what the local golf courses were doing. After about 10 days, I felt like I had failed again because nothing had sprouted. Then it rained. The next morning, I saw a few sprouts.I still figured I would have to replant spots, but the stuff just kept getting thicker and greener. And then it started to rain again in mid November. And it didn't stop until mid February.That is extremely rare for Phoenix, but I need to point out that I didn't water this grass manually a single time from the first week of November until today, as I'm now letting it die to try to replant the bermuda. By the middle of December, it had become some of the most lush lawns I had ever seen. And I couldn't mow it because it was constantly too wet.I did end up with a clover problem towards the end of the rains, but I think that was just because it was so wet. When the rain stopped, the clover died off long before the grass did.I'm guessing that this stuff just loves water. I have no idea what it would do through a typical Phoenix winter, but I have to give it five stars because of how beautiful it looked all winter long. Because of how successful I was with it, I'm giving the Scotts bermuda grass seed another chance.

Product doesn’t really work that well as I didn’t notice any difference in the growth rate and germination. Plus this product is GROCELY OVERPRICED.

Seeded spot where seed won't grow. Behind our house and under neighbor's big tree. It's growing and looks like it's there to stay.

I am giving this product 4 stars because I didn't get the coverage for the quantity. Nonetheless, the seeds that did sprout have grown into a lush covering making my lawn look a bit more even and green.
