Pennington Bermudagrass Grass Seed 5 lb

Bermuda grass is either the bane of one's existence (northerners), or it's the answer to prayers for something green. For the south Texan, it's the latter. You probably don't need my story, but you'll get it anyway. I'm a confessed grass addict. I had the fancy turf, (Tiff Bermuda grass), and it was the envy of my culdesac. Then I moved into the boonies-- former farmland, clay soil, and water restrictions. I wanted grass--nay--needed it. So I bought Blackjack bermuda to replicate something of a fancy turf-- it just didn't pan out. As a backup, I bought Pennington's Bermuda. The first time I bought it, it grew very slowly, but it still grew. Bermuda takes about 3 weeks to germinate, so my seed must have been an average batch--OR SO I THOUGHT. Come to find out, I just didn't have the right conditions. Here's what you need. 1. Get a soil test and find out what nutrients are missing from your soil. pH is also important. 2. You need loose soil. Cover up that seed with loose dirt, or press it down into the dirt with a roller. Peat moss may work. Long story short, you need seed to soil contact. 3. You need a starter fertilizer with the Bermuda seed. 4. Plant at the right time. If it's too hot outside, the seed won't grow too well. I grew my first batch in October, and it was still scorching here in Texas. 5. You need consistency in watering. If you water it well, it will grow. You will need to do this for 3 weeks. Bermuda is a slow grower initially. Believe it or not, you'll still see sprouting seed 5 weeks later. When I bought Pennington for a second time, it grew like wild fire. Planting right in early spring and the weather was simply perfect. I'm about to buy my 3rd seed batch for my final planting project. 20000 sq feet

Amazing results in arid NM high desert. Growing well in full, intense sun and moderate shade. Some seeds did not germinate until we had our monsoon season and then there was a nice flush of new grass seedlings. Much better seed for this climate than previous Bermuda that is offered.

Not to be seed sprouted After thatching and adding soil and watering A costly and time consuming project was so disappointing

The seed worked well in our clay soil! Will overseed more this spring!

These are very good seeds. Easy to use, bag a little less in them not full to the top but seeds were good. Waiting on the grass to come up.

Disappointed. Have grown lawns from seed many times. I made sure to have adequate seed spread out and good seed soil contact. Watered twice a day for two weeks and not a single blade. Very disappointed. Would have gotten the same result spreading 50 bucks in nickels on the lawn. I suspect the seed had been sitting for a long period of time in excessive heat or just old seed. Horrible purchase and waste of time and money (and paying to water dirt)

Great quality seed worked great with my lawn customers yards order few times

Good value
