GreenView Fairway Formula Seeding Success Biodegradable Mulch plus Starter Fertilizer - 18 lb. Bag - Covers 380 sq. ft.

This is a Very good product to use to keep your seeds moist for germination and hills from washing out. Would work instead of covering seed with dirt if you have a problem area that drys out or you are busy or forgetful.). This product looks better then hey or other products that look messy. A bonus is the pellets disappear on there own without you having to do any thing but watering your lawn. After I spread the seed and covered them with pellets by hand I immediately watered the new lawn with seed and pellets just like I was watering the lawn without the pellets. There was a very heavy thunder storm an hour or two after i applied the pellets and amazingly the hill stayed perfect (no wash outs) then more thunder storms through out the two weeks it took to germinate the grass seeds, (still everything stayed in place) the top strip on hill is the only issue due to heavy rains. The other issue I had was I didn't have enough to spread on the bottom 170 Sf area and the rain washed it with the seeds together in bunches, With no rain it would probably work grate speeding it lightly covering everything. One bag is probably best for 119 to 136 square feet with it being thick covering every inch of the ground as I did on hill and top. The pellets saved the hill and the grass grew a little faster than normal cause seeds stayed damp the whole time they germinated, as long as I watered the pallets when they started drying out. when the pellets look lighter in color, just make sure to not over water. The photos are before and with pellets on the lawn after germination 8 days after planting. I didn't get any photos right after I applied but they are a light grayish tan when dry needs water and darker grey when wet if you pick one up you can fill the water moisture when pellets are good and its dry and shrinks when pellets needs water over time pellets get smaller tell they disappear.
