 - Still Waiting for growthI ordered 5 bags and spread it all in newly tilled ground. I watered regularly and still not one single blade of grass has grown. Perhaps it grows in Canada but not Washington State!! Would not waste my money again. Rating:  - Easy & great resultsI'm lazy - so I just lightly raked up the dead grass in the bare spots, then tossed the grass seed on the mostly bare patches of ground, covering them well, then got a 40 lb bag of potting soil and lightly tossed a thin layer on top to hide the seed from the birds and to hold moisture. Then set the sprinklers to run daily for 2 minutes a shot at 5 AM, noon & 4 PM to keep the area damp. In a week the seed sprouted and I've now cut it for the first time and it's really filled & blended in well. Prep is important, and I didn't really expect this simple technique to work, but it did. Super easy & quick. I sowed the seed within a few days after it arrived so it was fresh & kept it out of the light. It was fall in North California, so not hot and not cold. The area is fairly shaded by trees also. Very happy with the results. Rating:  - So Far pretty goodPut this seed in here on the front range of Colorado (East side of the Rockies) at 6,500ft elevation. Its been down about 2 months now and I would say the 5,000sg ft. is 75% filled in. This was heavily over seeded soil (good quality fertilized/mulched 6-8 inches deep)and then lawn topper put over the seed and watered daily. There was no original lawn, it was fresh soil trucked in. Its a pretty light green with small blades and very dense. Its Nov 1st now and we will see how it does over the winter. We have already had one V-light snow on it and it was not bothered at all. Also seems to be keeping the weeds down. There was no weed killer used. I'll update this post in June 08, by then it should be at its peak, or not. Rating:  - PleasedI am very pleased with the start of the overseed that I planted. On Sept 29th I fertilized & overseaded 4 lbs. of Canada Green. It is very noticeable, expecially the rye grass. [Writen on Oct 19th] Hopefully, the real benifit will show up next spring. Rating: - Great problem area grass!We had problems getting grass to grow in some dry nutrient free soil. This seed really grew. We planted it at the same time as some Wal------ seed that didn't grow so we have a obvious comparison - grass and no grass!!!
