It's not a mix at all. It's 100% annual rye seed. It's OK to use this for a season to hold soil in place on a slope, but it's not perennial. Next year you get weeds. It's useful as a cover crop in the fall but it's not lawn grass.

Buy the concentrate and use as much as you need, then rinse out your sprayer, don't keep mixed product. We have saved the concentrate and used that year to year with no problem. Just keep it where it won't freeze and thaw. Last year was terrible for hydrangeas and even wilt pruf didn't save the buds when we had prolonged very cold weather early spring. Let's hope for a better year. Christine and Richard

Low light plants like Anubias, java fern, and Crypts. I dont know if I would try it with others that need more. Definately not flourishing but very slow steady growth. I didnt buy it with the expectations that it would grow stuff, but tried it out just to see. I think I would go with something more powerful if growing plants was your goal.

I don't believe that the grass seed mixture is particularly suited to warm and humid climates like yours. It says "Black Beauty™ Ultra Grass Seed is a mixture of 30% Dakota tall fescue, 30% Montana tall fescue, 20% Tombstone tall fescue, 10% Blue-Tastic Kentucky bluegrass, and 10% Frontier perennial ryegrass." You may want to check with your local sod growers to see what kind of grass seed they use to grow sod.

Should grow fine. I'm in Colorado (Denver metro area) and haven't had a problem getting it to sprout & grow, especially on the North side of my house which is always in shade and has more snow until later in the year than other areas. My biggest problem was the lawn service cutting it down to their "normal" low height last season. For that and other reasons, I'll be doing my own grass this year. ;&gt;

not sure what the ingredients are but there was stuff in there that killed all of my plants. Some plants I had for 10 plus years, decided to 'refresh' the soil and they all got infected and died. You would be better buying from your local hardware store. at least you can trust them

I dont know moss types...but my assortment was great and has done very well. With any terrarium you plant, water and then dont mess with it. My moss is spreading and doing well. It was a good buy for me

I love using Preen. It has helped keep the weeds from growing. I have only used it in my regular garden, not where I grow vegetables. I like the answers submitted by other fellow users. It is better to be safe!

I wish I knew too. I got a relatively poor mix with low forests and mountains, but high plains, swamps, and islands. I emailed the seller and I am waiting to hear back with a solution.

It's dirt. Literally!!!! What is the shelf life of dirt? Dont waste your money!!!! Get Amazing Green Superfood, much better!!

The grasses are a mixture of rye and fescue, which tend to clump naturally so use a spreader when seeding or over seeding. They are very fine and soft, more like "grass hair" when they come up. They grow very slowly. I have no idea what the ratio is --- ask the Dirty Garder, but that may also be some sort of trade/company secret. :) This mixture is only grasses and clover --- no flowering exotics.

In deed, the same thing happen to me. In fact, we lost it before the fall came along. I figured we got a enough vitamin and nutrients we needed for the grass to start growing. But it would have been nice for it to continue growing lush and full. Oh well. Nature is kind of strange in that way.....I look at it that Mother Nature knows what she is going. Good luck in future planting. Miss. Ducky

It's supposed to be a mixture but I was unsuccessful in getting anything to germinate.

This is what I consider a weed grass!!! It grow 6" tall in a week and is very course and lighter green in color. I used this product last summer to fill in patches on my lawn and it sprouted very quickly. However, it does not mix well with my chanshare sod lawn- kentucky blue grass, rye and a couple others mixed. It ruined my lawn and I had to roundup large patches and spend hours hand pulling small patches. Good luck!

I cant answer that for sure but I have used this stuff for about 4 years now and really like it but I'm in Arizona. I mix it 4 oz to a gallon along with 2 oz of weed stopper II. The weed stopper is orange in color so it makes it easier to see where you have sprayed.If it was me and you have it bad double up on the cornerstone. This is the end of July and our raining season and I last sprayed the beginning of May. I just walked my yard and I have 3 weeds next to a couple of bushes and that's all after 3 months. Remember you don't want to get this stuff on a plant you don't want killed.hope I have helped I cant answer that for sure but I have used this stuff for about 4 years now and really like it but I'm in Arizona.

You're quite welcome. I'm having to do some research myself, because I don't have any knowledge of seeds and plants. I want to learn, though. Foxfire books may be helpful. I haven't checked them out, but they are reported to tell about the "old" ways of doing things. Happy researching.

We have Floratam grass and it works well, but less is better. If you use too much it stunts the grass for a couple of weeks but it is the ONLY product that works on weeds. We LOVE the stuff, just use as directed :-)
