I have mixture of very sunny and very shady areas in my lawn. Would you recommend this product for me?

The area we used it in is very dense shade. Put it down and keeping it moist. Within a week and a half we have sprouted! The jury is still out though, but this looks very promising compared to other seed we have purchased.

With proper application and straw mulch to protect from the birds it has done well in my spotty sunny/shaded yard with frequent watering.

By the way the only reason I recommended you to spray your test area in a part of yard where the sun mostly hits that spot is because you will see the results faster than if you sprayed it in a shady spot in your yard. The results will be the same in both spots the only difference is the amount of time it takes to see the results. Make sure you mow your grass first, make sure your yard the grass and weeds are dry when you mow and then spray shortly after that same day. The reason why is because you need to think of the weeds as a human arm or finger. If you have cut on your arm or finger it's very vulnerable to infection as soon as it's cut. The same is true with weeds or any other form of vegetation. I've also sprayed this Spectracide when the temp was close to 90 degrees. I just diluted the mixture after I used it on my text area. I apologize if I'm bothering you. I just wanted to explain myself a little more since I've been using this for a long time. I don't remember how long but it's been long enough to where I won't use anything else besides Drexel for killing everything a 15 foot tall that was growing in a tricky spot out at my shop, spraying it around the bottom of my trees in my yard, spraying around my house, knocking out my house and shop's driveways. Anyways... Goodluck!

I have only used it in my sprouter and edible plants and house/garden...sorry have not used it on lawn. I think it's a great product though.

Lana, I am sure this reply is a little late. I live on the Texas coast where it can get very hot and dry. I planted the grass in the early Spring since I was afraid the hot summer sun would kill the grass. The grass did sprout, grow, and cover the dense shade area where I planted it. However, at the start of Spring of the next year I didn't have much coverage. That lack of coverage could have been due to poor soil or lack of rain. Hope your yard turned out well for you.

I have used this product on Bluegrass and Fescue grass..With very good results..Mow wait two days and spray..If needed spray again in two weeks..

If you get a heavy rain it will kill low areas where the water pools. It really works well with all vegetation but two light applications maybe better than one heavy app if landscaping is an issue

Can't help you with this one. I sprayed it on when the lawn was dry and then the sprinklers come on the following day and watered it in. That said, the stuff works, it's just a little pricey. I would recommend you strictly follow the directions and not over-dose.

I'm sure it would be fine. I had mine on my deck that was in full summer sun and it did a nice job.

I wondered about that too and decided to not pay attention to it! I'm using it on my above ground pool. The system works just too bad I can't get Mother Nature to cooperate with more sunny days!

Hi Wei,I live in So. Cal...........also hot, dry summers inland. I applied this product in summer with no problem. Just be sure to use a good spreader and don't over-apply. I had really good results. Greener, healthier lawn - better than all my neighbors! I do recommend.

It works just fine. Follow directions. Will probably take more than one application. I spot sprayed on the Bermuda grass. Know that there is a possibility that your fescue grass may brown a bit but this will come out of it. Don't spray in the heat of the afternoon as this seems to cause browning of good grasses. Get the Bermuda grass wet and be patient, like was said earlier, will probably take more than one application. The label on bottle will tell you how often to repeat spray- BUT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!

I do have some patches of darker green but have now overseeded it all with Shady Nook and can tell that the blend is going to even out the lighter shades of green. Even if there are still a few darker areas, it is better than brown dirt (to me!). :-)

I used this product in the fall (sept/oct) on a section of my lawn that had Bermuda grass. I won't know if it killed off all the Bermuda grass till the warm weather (June) However I think it killed my lawn too. BE CAREFULL IF YOU USE IT.

I wouldn't recommend this to you. I have terrible results. Try ammonium nitrate on your lawn. It works wonder for me.

We live in Delaware, not quite the desert and our top does fade a little in the sun. I spray an Aromor All like product on it about twice a year and it looks like new again. You may have to treat it much more often, for the money it is a great product. Easy to use, light, removes and re-installs easy.

Yes, absolutely. This is ideal for that purpose. We used it on two of our vegetable gardens in NC weather and had a lot of success.
