GBW Grass Seed - Quality Lawn Seed 1kg - Covers up to 60 m2 (645 ft2) New Lawns - Fast Growing & Rapid Germination - Hard Wearing Against Pet Urine - Tailored to UK Climate - 100% Refund (1.0kg)

I mixed the seed with some all purpose compost and sowed it with a light layer of earth over it as well: I've found that this not only speeds germination, but far more of the seeds germinate than when it is just sprinkled on the ground as the supplier suggests. With a light covering of earth I get a really good thick layer of new grass. The first box I bought was sowed in the spring when it was cold, and took a good 3-4 weeks to show. That grass is now thick and healthy and indistinguishable from the rest of the lawn. However the latest batch (which came in an unmarked woven plastic bag) was up and very visible within a week of sowing thanks to warmth and lots of rain. I'm very happy with this seed as it seems to be reliable and germination under ideal temp/moisture conditions is very fast. The grass is good quality, with no sign of leggy rye-grass, and uniform in colour and texture. Wish I had the energy to do my whole lawn with this, not just the places left messy by laying new paths. Oh, and last year I bought turf for some larger areas, which looked fantastic all summer, but died completely over the winter. I've reseeded with this seed over the top, and it's looking good.

slow germination.

I ordered this hard wearing grass seed for a small patch I wanted to cover with lawn and to overseed the rest of the grass in my garden. I sowed it around early May, and to keep the birds and dog off, I covered it with fleece for a week until it had germinated. I'm pleased with the result. I've been able to mow it twice already by the end of June and edge it. Still trying to keep off the grass for now though. The results from overseeding weren't as good. I have a long grass pathway which is trampled on many times daily. I covered half the length with seed and put fleece over, and made everyone walk on one side, intending to switch sides when the new grass had grown sufficiently. It's come up, but the patches still look bare with only one or two new blades. I did prepare the new area until it was a fine tilth. The existing lawn was scarified, aerated, cut and the new seeds covered with a fine layer of top soil, so I don't know where I went wrong, though I suspect, the soil wasn't prepared, lots of stones and chafers under there, and the seed the previous owner used wasn't good quality. One thing, it comes in a bag which opens along the 'long side', the wrong edge in my opinion, so once you've opened the bag, it's not easy to store it. I had to tip the seed I was keeping aside into a tin, and cut the instructions from the plastic wrapper and put them in. For starting a new lawn from scratch, this is excellent seed, as long as you prepare the ground well first.

I've never seeded a lawn before, so I watched loads of YouTube videos and got the prep right. I'd had the seeds sitting in the bag in front of a window since September, so was a little paranoid that they'd be no good in April. The bad reviews on here had me convinced they'd be dead, especially as grass seeds feel pretty dead and weightless anyway. I sowed a few on a wet paper towel in a plastic container to check they were viable, and pretty much all of them sprouted :D I think the company could improve the user experience by recommending a specific fertiliser. As a newbie, this was a bit of a mindfield, and I was worried that my standard tub of Growmore wouldn't cut the mustard, as it isn't a lawn Starter Fertiliser per se. It seems to have done the job though. After about 3 weeks, I had grass. In 6 weeks, I could definitely call it a lawn. It's been my most rewarding lockdown project so far. There are still a few bare spots, but that's down to excessively shady areas and probably a variation in the subsoil water retention. It's easy enough to scratch the ground up a bit and reseed those sections. So in short, buy these seeds. They'll give you a lush, soft, bright green lawn that makes you want to roll around on it, and they're dirt cheap. Seeding will give you immense satisfaction rather than cheating using turf. You'll also reduce your carbon footprint this way. The negative rules may have been due to old stock, but I doubt it, as grass seeds apparently remain viable for a few years. They're probably down to bad prep or under/overwatering. Use netting to keep the birds off too. And don't make the mistake I made - leaving the bird feeder hanging on the tree over bare tilled soil. The stray seeds will germinate and you'll end up with a wheat crop that you have to remove from the lawn by hand. Good luck!

Germination rate was really good and a nice green lawn appeared within around a week which is was very pleased with. However I am left disappointed at the sheer amount of weeds my lawn now has which it never did before. Will probably have to completely redo my lawn now!

Brilliant grass seed

I've used it to try and revive the turf in my new build property which seemed to collapse over the winter. I have used it to repair both dead patches and to thicken up and reinforce some of the existing areas. It took about 3 weeks to show signs of growth after sowing at the end of April, and in the last few weeks seems to have taken well. It has filled areas that are a mix of damp, shaded and sunny conditions, with very poor topsoil thanks to the builders rubble. Id recommend if you want something that is no fuss and can stand up to the rigors of wear from humans and animals in British weather. This bag has repaired around 3sqm of grass bald patches, reinforced a further ~10sqm of turf, and I still have around 1/3 of the bag left.

Già dopo 1 settimana i primi fili sono spuntati. Peccato perchè le formiche hanno fatto strage di semi...per quest'inverno sono a posto! Invece io ho dovuto ripiantare nelle zone in cui avevano fatto man bassa.

Buen producto, comprare mas sin pensarlo, buena calidad, cesped muy bueno y crece con eficacia*****

Excellent . J’ai humidifié la terre et juste jeté des poignés d’herbe sur le terrain je précise qu’il yavait que de la terre même pas d’herbe Je suis ravie du résultat au bout de deux semaines darraosage le résultat est top. J’ai arrosé tout les soirs !!!!!

Die Samen haben etwas länger gebraucht um auszutreiben was vermutlich aber daran gelegen hat das es etwas zu trocken war. Des weiteren sind geschätzt nur 50% gekeimt. Jetzt sind alle Flächen wieder mit Gras bewachsen. Im kommenden Jahr wird der Rasen komplett neu angelegt und ggf auf dieses Produkt zurückgegriffen.

Sembradas a primeros de septiembre y muy bien, sí que necesitan un gran aporte de agua, por lo demás a ver cómo se comportan cuando llegue el calor del próximo verano
