I got this seed at the end of October 2021 my grass section is 800 square feet I got the 7 pound bag that covers 2800 square feet I put it all on so I prepped the ground with my spreader I used steer manure as the base then the seed and covered with peat moss and watered 8 minutes twice a day and it came in great it's April 6 2022 now, the picture is a fresh 3 inch cut I did today it looks the best in my opinion from 2 to 3 inches I get a lot of compliments on my back grass when the wife and I decide to redo the front grass I'm definitely going to use this beautiful turf to do it with you can't go wrong with this just give it a shot and be patient with it stay off it as long as you can so it doing hurt the young grass I gave it it's first cut when it hit about 6 inches tall

JG us a great seed company. This is a proper mixture for Northern lawns. I am sometimes nervous about buying from vendors, not Amazon direct. Ebenshades did a great job shipping my 200 lbs of seed to me on the exact day promised. I am satisfied!! Jb green landscaping norfolk mass.

The reviews seem to be not so good but for me I love this. So thick an beautiful. I rent a condo but owner who is supposed to care for lawns DOES SO VERY POORLY! I had a really big bare spot n it's covered it with amazing thick grass. I did no prep for it. The grass that is original here is awful because it not taken care of. Next year I will take it in my own hands n plant this. Pretty expensive for me but once done then a one time cost for a amazing grass. Oh when my pup pees on it, it does not burn it.

DECEMBER 15, 2016: The first 3 pictures below show results a nonexpert can expect 26 days after planting Jonathan Greene Black Beauty Ultra Grass Seed, in chilly but mild weather in North Carolina. I started doing my own yardwork this year after professional landscapers overcharged for subpar lawn care. Although I cleaned up parts of the yard the landscapers missed, I gouged 4 holes in the ground with my weedeater in the process. For patching the holes, Jonathan Greene's brand of grass seed was the smallest bag (comes in 1 pound) with the highest ratings I could find at Amazon or Lowe's. The smallest bag (1 Cu. Ft.) of Miracle Gro garden soil was just enough to fill the craters.

I planted on November 19, 2016, while the temperature was in the 60s during the day and around the 40s at night. By December 15, we're in the 40s and 50s during the day and usually in the 30s at night. Despite intentions to follow the meticulous instructions of other Amazon customers, I did not fertilize and only watered the seeds twice in the first few days. By the time the pictures were taken, we had 5 or 6 drenching rains and a few other days when it drizzled.

The growth is uneven because I didn't distribute the seeds well, and because a flock of birds came out of nowhere and ate a lot of the grass seed the day after planting. But the sprouts that are present look healthy, and are finer and deeper green than the rest of my low-average quality lawn. This is better than expected for my yard, and others who do a much better job of tending to the seedlings will have even better results.

JANUARY 3, 2017: Last 3 pics are sample patches of grass at 45 days after planting. I didn't water at all since the last post, but we had a reasonably good amount of rainfall once or twice a week despite continued chilly weather (50s and 40s during the day, 30s at night) The seedlings appear to be growing steadily and continue to fill in more of the bare patches.

Really nice seed best I have gotten
