I picked this up from Lowe's in the spring. Prepped the area, seeded, watered every day for several weeks...and it did shit. I got maybe a dozen pieces of grass out of a 20 sqft area and I live in the northeast where it we have moderate temps. Of course I'd thrown the receipt out.

Did you put tack straw over the seeds and water everyday? I suspect you didn't, the tack straw step is often missed.

The video on the product page did not say anything about tack straws. It only says prep the soil, spread the seeds, and water.

Trust me, get the tack straw, you will have grass in no time.

I've had fine success with this though I prefer Pennington. Neither are very drought tolerant though.

You need to water at least twice a day. Watering once daily isn't enough. It actually takes like 2 weeks before you see sprouting. I am using Scott's Turf Builder Rapid Grass. I am seeing some grass pop up. I can't believe Home Depot jacked the price to $33 for 5.6 pounds. I could have sworn these bags were like $20 not long ago.

I never said I watered it once/day, I said I watered everyday. This isn't my first rodeo as they say, I've done this at multiple houses over many years. This product was a failure, 100%, for whatever reason.
