Comment SEED for the grass seed mat we’re using!

We’re growing grass from a seed mat, and I measured with my heart, so I ran out like immediately. But I ordered nine more rolls. That should be enough. The first install, Steve didn’t make sure I was listening to him when he told me the instructions, so we had a rough time. I swear the wind would only blow when we were putting the mats down. They were everywhere. Now we have the method on lock. If all goes according to plan here on out, we’ll have a full thick yard in a matter of weeks. That is insane. Now the front yard, nice square. backyard giant patchwork quilt. As we found, the mats work best when it sticks straight to the dirt. However, that wasn’t always an option back here. We did our best. If some of the mat was on grass, it got some extra water to dissolve it into place and stay put. The whole genius of the mat is how it keeps the seeds from washing away. Plus, it even has little fertilizer in there, too. We’re going to have to see if this works on the patch of rocks we have here. I have my doubts. There is some sand and dirt. Will that be enough? We’ll find out. 1,100 square ft of seed mats are all down.

  1. Remember to keep a corner with wild flowers and local plants to attract and feed pollinators: wild bees, bees, bumblebees, butterflies. It can grow wild, no mowing and look pretty 😍

  2. Harda menim çenemden burnumdan var emelli başlıca yığıb doldurur admin tv ye. Rusya dolu amerka dolu ingiltere dolu yunanlar dolu booo benzer çene burun dolu imiş ki tek deyilem.

  3. I can say one thing: this is completely unnecessary work. I’ve worked as a gardener myself, and it’s much easier to spread grass seed by hand. In the end, the result is the same. If you want to fertilize the grass, you can simply spread fertilizer granules the same way you spread the grass seed.

  4. I used that last year, and most of it blew away, where it did stay it grew some grass, but it all was dead this spring. Waste of money and time!!😢
