Jonathan Green 10622 Dense Shade Grass Seed Mix, 1 Pounds

The seeds in the bag I purchased are as follows:

20% Montana Tall Fescue
20% Taos Tall Fescue
20% Frontier Perennial Rye grass
20% Hood Chewings Fescue This mix came in a one-pound bag. As a result, I won't be able to predict whether or not this particular seed will thrive. I can attest to the fact that it germinates quickly, but for about 5 oz of Fine Fescue seed, I believe it is extremely expensive given the blend. Of course these percentages are by weight and not by seeds, but even so it is recommended that you use 100% Fine Fescue (or Rough Bluegrass) for deep shade, and 4 pounds 4 oz isn't going to cut it, and then there's the Bluegrass, which has a lower shade tolerance than Tall Fescue for some strange reason. Overall, I gave it three stars because, unlike my previous tall fescue, I won't be able to tell if it's working, but it should look great until summer arrives and the shade kills it, and it has excellent reviews. However, I would advise you to purchase a different brand that contains more fine fescue (deep shade) seed.

On Labor Day weekend in Connecticut, I took this picture of a piece of dirt. So, it goes without saying that the grass seed has done a fantastic job up to this point. Because there is no direct sunlight in this area (though it isn't quite triple canopy jungle), I simply fertilized and sowed the seed as directed. I've been watering religiously and accepting the water of Ma Nature here in New England, as you can see in the photo below, taken after I mowed today. Yes, it had been three weeks since it had been mowed. There is no light exposure at the very back of the photograph (which you can't see). The grass is growing, but it isn't as thick as it once was. We'll see what happens because no grass grows without light.

However, I've been very impressed thus far. This stuff says "dense shade," and it really means it! I planted these seeds in a small corner of my yard that, with the exception of a small section, receives no direct sunlight throughout the day. I had a lot of grass growing in less than two weeks. The fact that part of it receives sun and part of it does not in the area where I planted it impressed me the most. In most cases, the area that receives sunlight will have more grass growing taller than the area that does not receive sunlight. The grass, on the other hand, grew evenly in both the sun and the shade. br>The grass is also growing in nicely, and it isn't too thin. I will undoubtedly reseed, but for the time being, I am pleased with the amount of grass that has sprouted. By the way, I'm from Washington State in the Pacific Northwest. We also planted it by tilling the soil, spreading the seeds and a small amount of fertilizer, and then covering them with a light layer of potting soil. This method is highly recommended because these seeds appear to benefit from having a layer of soil to grow into. br>One thing to keep in mind, which may seem obvious to some but isn't to others: When it's seeding and sprouting, don't walk on it at all. There are a few small areas in my patch where I had no choice but to walk at times, and the grass is in desperate need of water. TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR TLDR If you plant it correctly and water it frequently, this plant can thrive in full shade.

I purchased two sun bags. one of the dense shade mixes, and another shade mix A small area in the sun was done about 6 weeks ago. The ground was fertilized with new Black Kow fertilizer, which was mixed in with the existing soil. I had set up a watering system for the plants. A light raking of the seed into the soil was done. Only a small percentage of the seedlings grew, but they died within a week. Then, three weeks ago, I tried a larger area, which was also in the sun for seven to eight hours each day, but was shaded in the late afternoon and evening hours, and measured about 30' x 50'. The seed has started in a few places, but it is splotchy and there is more dirt showing than seed growth. Maybe 25% of the area is showing signs of growth at all. The blades are very thin, similar to Rye grass, and none are taller than 1 foot. 1/2", some of which appear to be fuzz on the ground, and I'm seeing areas where the new growth is already fading. I used the dense shade bag for the third section, which I seeded three weeks ago. There are only a few hours of direct sunlight and about ten hours of shade in this area. Same result, extremely fine blades, 25% of the seed taking This isn't a thick, green substance at all. It should be zooming upward with Black Kow in the soil, as Black Kow strengthens everything. Either I received some faulty seed bags, or this type of seed simply does not grow well.

For about four years, I struggled with a shady area and tried every option available at the big box stores. On the advice of a landscaper we had hired for other work, I finally tried this stuff. In the spring, it blended in beautifully, and in the summer, it thrived in the full shade provided by the trees. It appears to be in good shape almost a year later, which makes me very happy.

I'd left it "natural" for years because I was too lazy to rake it. I stripped it down to dirt, scratched the surfaces with a garden rake, spread the seeds by hand, and within a week, grass had sprouted. Simple and green, it requires watering; for the first week, I misted the seeds to keep them in place. I've tried a few other brands over the years, but this one really shines in a dense shade.
