Grew in patches even though it was spread evenly according to directions.  Maybe it was planted to late, don't know. but don't think I'll buy it again.

First time buying this brand and it performed just as well if not better than any other. It's not as thick as some that I've used before which in my opinion gives you a better evenly spread application. I will for sure continue using this brand.

I bought this to fill on after construction in my backyard.  It was early September, so I was unsure how well it would sprout.  Well, it sprouted as close to 100% as I can tell via sight inspection.  It is now late October and I have a healthy, robust clover yard.  I would buy this product again the next time I need to reseed my yard.

This is a good spread!  I love the pattern, however, after about 7 months of wear it has started to unravel.  So I'm not sure if I would make the purchase again.  I still like the pattern and the color well, and my wife likes it.  With a needle and thread she has repaired the seams.

This really does spread on smoothly. Plus, the pink to white takes out any guess work (to be safe, I still often give it overnight). After, I went back and took a wet cloth to touch up any areas that were a little too far from the original 'spot' and sanded down the rest.

I've bought seeds and seed starting kits for the past couple of years, and never put the 2 together.

With this mix, I finally have seeds sprouting. So in that sense--minimal effort and time required--this is a successful product.

If you're a more knowledgeable or committed gardener, this may not suit your standards.

I did notice that the mix is oddly unabsorbent. The water has a tendency to just float on top. I patted the wet mixture and everything seemed to settle down.

I did not notice the large mulch/bark pieces that other reviewers mentioned. The texture of my mix was fine.

A very very lovely grass.  But my second batch had a yield that was only a fraction of last years seeds.  I don't think a consistent product is being produced and given how fussey this grass is to grow even in the best of conditions is very frustrating.

This spreader is able to spread large granules or very fine granules over a wide range of settings. The pneumatic wheels are wider than the plastic ones on the lower price model so the spreader is stable enough to pull behind my lawn tractor without tipping. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Update Sept 2009: I have had this spreader for a year. It started tipping once the metal on the hitch bent from use and was no longer able to keep it stable. I bent the hitch back and put water in the pneumatic tires to make it more stable. One of the vertical supports collapsed the 4th time I used it. Fertilizer had got into the hollow tube and had caused it to rust from the inside. Earthway offered to sell me a replacement at dealer cost and noted that I should coat the inside with oil to make it more rust resistant. I opted to make a wooden replacement.

The spreader setting does not always remain the same when you shut it OFF and back ON while spreading. I have tightened it very tight but when you are apreading you may put more force on it than your realize and it will slide down and can greatly increase the application rate. It needs teeth so that it will not slide so easily.

This spreader needs some design enhancements to make it a longer term good buy. It turned out to not be as good as I first thought.

They grew fast and there was definitely plenty in the bag. I filled about 16 pint size mason jars with about half the package. I noticed some of the beads had a different shape though.. That was weird. Instead of smooth circles, some were indented in a pattern.. It didn't make a difference in the long run.

The first one was damaged in shipment, but Amazon replace it as soon as I contacted them. I have used it on several occasions and you get a great spread pattern both with grass seed and fertilizer. It is lightweight but seems really solid.

I can't believe how well this grew. It took a few days longer to sprout than I thought, but once it did, it won't stop! I'd take the advice of a fellow reviewer (that I read after the fact), take some soil out, but the seeds in, then put the rest of the soil on top. Too many of my seeds ended up just resting on top of the soil. The cats are still unsure about it, but I'm sure they'll come around.

It's growing!  We put this grass seed along the side of our steep driveway that gets lots of sand/salt mix in the winter.  The new grass is just starting, having seeded about 10 days ago.  But the area already looks better than it has for years.  The big test will be next spring after another winter of dumping salty snow from the plows -- but I am optimistic!

I used this stuff for bare patches on my lawn after an over active ground squirrel decided to throw a party.
The seeds are fast growing and seem somewhat hardy. Ill definitely buy again.
Oh and the squirrel is no more!

Many cuttings had spots on the leaves upon arrival. Some have mold growth at the base of the plant after just a few days of being on soil. I see that there are many good reviews though, so maybe I just received a bad selection. Take your chances with this purchase. I have found that it is more reliable to purchase plants off Etsy and that is where I shop for my succulents now.

Some grow and some don't.  The ones that did grow are large and pretty.

This grows grass so fast. Make sure you spread evenly over the grass else you will have tufts of growth spots.

Good gardener's tape.  Expands with the growth of the plant.
