PenningtonOne Step Complete Sun & Shade Bare Spot Grass Seed, 10 Pounds, White

I wasn’t expecting much - just hopeful - that this would grow some grass in a spot where it was bare and shaded a majority of the day.I purchased this hoping I could get some grass to grow. Well after putting in top soil to add height to the ground and spreading the seeds, I watered it when I remembered (so not according to instructions). After a few days, the grass started to sprout. I was unsure if this was growth from the weeds underneath or the actual product.Well, a few days later I can confirm it is the seeds. The picture is after a week of application.I am now trying to see if this will work in my problem area in the back where water loves to pool whenever it rains. Fingers crossed that it will help with this issue.If it does, I plan to get the bigger bag. Definitely recommend!

The weed sprouted vigorously and abundantly, but then something went wrong.All the new grass wilted within a few weeks. Probably due to excessive moisture - it rained all the time... it turned out to be a problem for me to grow it correctly.However, I don't think it's the manufacturer's problem.

It's not working like we'd hoped. At least as fast as we'd hoped. Still works but we'll try again next year

I just put this down. The "mulch" looks like dog food. You have to water it really well for the "mulch" to break apart. It never swells and acts as mulch though. Scotts EZ seed is far superior. I added Scotts Turf Builder Starter Food for New Grass as I read reviews that this grows slowly. I should also mention I saw no grass seed in this at all. I ordered another bag but just cancelled it.I'll come back with an update to let you know if this grew.

I just bought a new house and there were patches of dead grass on the lawn. I bought this to fill in the patches but it was a complete fail. The grass did grow just like in my picture. Very thin and sporadic but it died in about a week after sprouting. I decided to test it in a separate container to rule out the possibility of my lawn being the issue. I got fresh soil and put it in three separate containers. I added seeds to all three and watered daily. They all sprouted but two completely died and the third only remained with very thin sporadic blades of grass. It's a great product in theory but it doesn't last and it's a big waste of time. You're better off buying a piece of sod and laying it where you need grass.

This short grass thrives in the shade! I love it!It only took 2 weeks to get some small baby grass, but after about 2 months, its still nice and short and filling in nicely. Its an understatement to say that I am excited about this.My existing grass is tall grass, but planting this grass makes me want to replant my entire yard with fresh short grass so that I never have to mow it again. Of course I'll have to plant really tall skinny trees or shrubbery to shade my entire yard, but it will likely be worth it!Looks soft enough to walk on barefoot. I don't know yet how delicate it is. Hope it can survive the occasional tromp with my big feet. But if it doesn't, I can always buy more at this low price of $10.

I see some grass in the bare spots were i used this product. But i still have the bare spots. I guess it was probably not enough grass seed in the mix. I prepped the spots before use. Now i just have to buy more grass seed to overseed the spots that did not grow. I would not recommend. Just save your money and buy a bag of grass seed only.

Needed to seed some bare areas in my lawn and bought this based on its description and knowing Pennington is a reputable grass seed. It was used in two areas, on with more sun the other more shady. I prepped the ground, put down the seed as instructed and meticulously watered 2x day to keep soil moist. It took about 10 days for the first signs of germination. I thought that was a long time but said great at least it’s starting to work after I pretty much gave up on it . Well 3 weeks lawyer my shady area is about 25% germinated and my sunny area is about 60% germinated. Of course I now have weeds filling in those open areas which is not making me happy. Overall very disappointed with this product
