Pennington Smart Patch Bermudagrass 10lb 200 sq. ft. Grass Seed Bare Spot Repair with Mulch and Fertilizer

Within 48 hours several ant colonies decided to make home inside of my patch repair... they even took it 10 ft away and made a new giant mound nearby with the ingredients of this bag.... Update: originally rated this 1 star but I kept watering it for 2 weeks every day. The patches almost completely filled in now with new grass to my surprise. It was only effective on the spots that I removed the dead grass from though. Cannot use it on top of dead grass, has to be fresh ground. But took the bare spot in my front lawn to 90% filled in 2-3 weeks. Taking my review from 1 to 5! Maybe the ants helped after all...

I followed every step exactly — prepped the area, added new topsoil, applied the Pennington Smart Patch Bermudagrass Mix as directed, and watered daily. After 21 days, nothing germinated. The return instructions said original packaging wasn’t required, so I gathered what hadn’t germinated, dropped it at UPS, and received confirmation. Amazon refunded me, then later re-billed the item as “not returned,” even though I have the UPS receipt. I’ve tried repeatedly to resolve this through the app, but it’s a loop with no real customer support. The product didn’t work, and the return process has been incredibly frustrating.

This product is fricken' amazing! You do have to keep it watered regularly (hard to remember sometimes), but even in spots where I have not got grass to grow for several years, I NOW HAVE GRASS! A little expensive, but it does work. I did have to reapply in some areas. Definitely "rough-up" soil before spreading to give it a better chance to permiate the ground.

Excellent product, but the plastic jug is heavy and excessive packaging. I will keep using it because this product works well in my yard in my climate, but am not happy with that big jug. Yes I recycle!

I planted seeds and watered them every day, but not a single one sprouted. I’ll try again later in fall, but it’s a bummer. Also I used almost the whole jag for the two 3x3 ft spots. The jag has a lot of mulch so you basically getting just a little bit of seeds.

I'm a new home owner, so I know how authentic reviews are important for people trying to find the right product for their need. That being said, I have zero landscaping experience and much of this has been a lot of research and trial and error. I live in the Central Florida area and used the seeds in very sandy soil. A lot of the negative reviews mention having zero growth. In my experience, that is entirely dependent on you. When first planting, you HAVE to water religiously twice a day, if not more depending on how much direct sun your lawn has. I've had situations where I didn't water for the first day after putting down the seed and nothing grew at all. I strongly suggest getting an automatic timer and an impact sprinkler to make sure you don't forget. Not to sound like a broken record, but just to stress the point, IF YOU LET THE SOIL DRY OUT BEFORE THE GRASS GROWS BEYOND FIRST SPROUTING, YOU'RE GOING TO WASTE EVERYTHING. Once you get everything going, I'm pretty happy with the results. I mixed in closer lawn seeds with this to help with how "full" the lawn looks. The Bermuda has done very well with it and has started to spread into the bare areas, so even if you don't have a consistent growth pattern it'll fix itself in time. If you mix in the clover seed, the clovers will also crowd out weeds so it'll help with maintenance of the lawn. This has been a way better experience compared to the tall/fine fescue I originally tried and had to tear out.

haedly any seed in this compoit plus watered for 2 weeks plus my sprinlers still a feew very few started to grow not worh the money plus a waste of time prepping and seeding and watering im in mid florida deltona the wearther was great and warm just a bad product or it was not mixed right at factory and hardly any seed added to it

Did nothing for me. Really was a waste of money. Yes I put it down correctly.
