Pennington The Rebels Tall Fescue Shady Grass Seed Mix 20 lb

n/a

After prepping the area, aerating and de-thatching, I spread the seed out per instructions. Began daily soaking with a soaker hose. Unfortunately I was had to travel for work and was unable to water for a couple days, after 20+ plus days, little example of anything sprouting.

Grows but came in very thin not a thick Hardy grass like it claims have a cheaper perennial grass seed that is easier to grow and hardier than this stuff

Bought 3 large bags to heavily overseed our yard. The ground was raked and loam was added and I would say approximately 1/4 of all the seed germinated. That is with irrigation watering regularly. Very disappointed in the result.

I planted my seed in mid-fall and needed more seed so I called the manufacturer and asked about the fall planting schedule ( if I had enough time in the season) . On the bag it stated spring/fall is the best time to plant grass seed . BUT they said they do not recommend planting in the mid fall , wait till spring !Well I had already planted my first large bag of seed and nothing is coming up. This was a Rebel shade seed blend . So now what ?

Bought this to overseed my front lawn to fill in thin areas. Applied per recommendations. Even put down compost and starter fertilizer. It’s been down a month with daily watering and I see lots of ungerminated seeds and don’t see any new sprouts. Either a terrible product or a bad batch with poor quality control.
