how many seeds will I need to cover a 20ft by 120ft area?

I dont know. It seems they spread quickly but this is my first year with them.

For 2400 sq.ft. 24 packages. The package I have (5,000 seeds) covers 100 sq. ft.

5,000 seeds covers 100 sq. feetYou yard is 2,400 sq. feet. You will need either 24 x 5,000 seed packs or you will need 12 x 10,000 seed pack.I recommend getting ONE seed pack, putting it into a growing tray and seeing how they germinate . If they're successful, you can order more.

I just received mine today. There are 40-50 seeds (some crushed in transit), which will plant a bed about 5' x 5' if you plant five rows of 10 seeds each if you're spacing about 6" apart, and a foot between rows. I generally like to plant more kale seeds than that in a bed, and then thin out the healthiest plants once they germinate, so I'll be buying second seed packet from a different source--these seeds just don't seem entirely trustworthy (no marking re "certified organic," in a little ziploc bag, no year/expiration stamp).

I think about 20+ seeds and they all are growing...looking forward to seeing the results!

I used in 15 acres with fertilizer and worked very good . Spayed in a width of around 15 ft. I suppose that it will work similar for seeds but I have not tried for that

Yes, however you'll have to wait until it is fully established, which can take quite some time. As you may have seen in my original review, these seeds are tiny and they instruct you not to cover them, so they will blow away if you don't keep them wet, and some will get munched by birds so order extra.Hope this helps!Billy

a very small area. those small plants need to be about 18-24 inches apart and they don't cover much area. we got 60 of the small ones and after seeing them decided to get larger plants that we could plant every 3 feet apart.

I'm able to cover at least 50 feet long by 20 feet wide and it can probably go further than that in both directions. I just don't have that big of a yard.

I'd say anywhere from 4-8 pounds. keep in mind though, it doesn't need to be sown very densely. However, if you want a lot of green the first season, you determine the thickness of the seed to be dispersed. Also something else to consider is that any left-overs can be used in subsequent sowing seasons to re-seed, to either replace lost sod, or to thicken it all over. So you can never really have too much on hand. It keeps for years in moisture proof containers, so you'll have no spoilage from year to year either. Hope this helps to get you started.

I really don't know, but I planted too late (1 bag) and had so much come up.........too late! I plan to put it down early this year and will need 3 bags+ for the area to cover. It was easy to sprinkle and water,......... next time I will cover the area with something so the birds don't eat the seeds!

This is a 1 pound package. If you want to plant it all at once you would probably need to do it outside as it would probably cover 10 to 20 square feet.

Quite a few but, I never counted. The seeds are very small as well.Plenty though to grow a good amount.

If you plant according to the directions on the package (4 inches apart with rows 12 inches apart) a 500 seed package should cover about 165 square feet.But I planted mine in large, square pots, with rows spaced only 4 inches apart. Practically every seed germinated, and the plants are thriving. These are very good seeds, very hardy plants.

We covered about 40 sq feet. We had enough to cover the surface twice. The Kit states that it will cover about 35 sq feet. I would buy two kits. We are very happy with the product and will use it again in the future. It has been installed and problem free for 10 months.

We used about half the bag for an area about 600square feet completely bare. Once it sprouted we had a few spots that needed more so we used about 1/4 more of the bag. Hope that helps.

For small seeds I used about five or six and two for big seeds. I ended up with more than one sprout per hole so I cut the tops off second third and forth plants.

I've used about half the package and have only gotten 4 seedlings to coming up. I believe it says on the package how much area it's suppose to cover.

these cover about 3.5' foot radius area at about 12 to 15 inches above plant with good growth, I eventually found they do great at 6-7 inches but coverage reduces to around 2-2.5 foot radius, most of the ufo styles have similar coverage , that will help you determine how many you will need. I think 2-4 lights will be good coverage ,,have had great growth and would definitely buy another
