This stuff is amazing . My lawn was a shambles. Hardly any decent grass, uneven and full of weeds. “I took the decision to: 1. Scalp the lawn 2. Scarify it on the deepest setting to destroy most a thing left on top 3. Level the garden with topsoil 4. Sew 3.5 boxes of this magic seed into the dirt 5. Cover it with a light sprinkle of miracle gro compost (it was on offer) 6. Cover it with a lawn fleece (on amazon) 7. Water thoroughly and then once a day after “Eight days later I am shocked and amazed, truly. Buy this stuff!” Alternatively, Argos has Miracle-Gro EverGreen Complete 4 in 1 Lawn Care for £15, which covers an 80m2 area. And Debenhams has a Doff Multipurpose Lawn Seed that costs £14.32 for 1kg. More than 10,000 people have ordered the Amazon Choice lawn seed in the past month and it gets an overall 4.2 star rating from more than 22,000 reviews. One shopper said: ” Germinated in 7-8 days ! Little green spears appearing everywhere, so I guess this seed is fresh and good quality. Prepared the ground beforehand, waited for showery, cloudy weather, sprinkled the seed and loosely raked it in with the back of a spring-tined rake. “The rain came shortly afterwards, so no watering needed. Price seems fair as there was plenty of seed. Happy days.” Another added: “I noticed visible sprouting within 6 days of sowing , which is quicker than other general-purpose grass seeds I’ve used before. Within 2–3 weeks, the lawn had filled in quite evenly—even in some shaded areas.” However, one was disappointed: “I had high hopes for this grass seed, but the results were just okay. The germination rate was decent, but it took longer than expected for the grass to fill in. Some areas grew well, while others remained patchy despite following the instructions carefully.” Amazon describes the grass seed as follows : “Speedy growth in just 7-14 days. Watch your lawn transform quickly with our fast-growing grass seed. Designed for rapid germination, providing lush, green coverage in no time. “If you struggle with any part of the growing process, don’t hesitate to contact us.
