Outsidepride 1 Lb Supranova Shade Grass Mix of POA Supina & Rough Bluegrass - Shade Tolerant Grass Seed for Golf Courses, Athletic Fields, & Outdoor Lawns, OptiGrowth Coated for Seed Enhancement

Amazing product, can be difficult to seed, but only product that once grown has survived my super shady backyard

Prepped the bare soil weeks ahead maki g sure the PH was ideal and the starter fertilizer I put down was rained in well. Tilled the first inch of soil spread nearly the whole bag of seed on 200 square feet and then rolled it with a 300# roller. Kept watered, but only about 10% of the seed germinated. Average daily temp was 85-90 degrees and I made sure it never dried out. My soil PH is 6 so I wonder if that had anything to do with it? The grass that is growing is incredibly thin bladed and a lovely shade of dark green. I used some of the remaining seeds sewn into plug trays using soil from Lowes. If they germinate like I expected my side yard to do, I will come back and post an update admitting it’s my soil.

Spent $100 on the first bag last year and the seed didn’t grow. I tried a different technique and seasonal timing this year on 2nd $100 bag, and this seed still did not germinate! Bad product

I have a wet shady area that gets on a good day around 3 hours of light. Chewing/hard fescues would grow, but slowly and patchy. This grows reasonable fast and either kept through the winter or repaired itself so by April I couldn't see any dirt. Its not magic as there are still a few areas extremely shady area that I left the hard fescues which need even less light, but this stuff makes an actual turf like a ryegrass or turf fescue. So wow.

I bought 30lbs from OutsidePrides website directly for my pictured 10,000 sq.ft. back yard. The first picture shows me having finished tilling, leveling, and seeding at a "2" setting on a Scott's broadcast spreader. I also used Scott's starter fertilizer per the back recommendations (10lbs). The second picture shows the yard only 7days later with me having done a very poor job watering the yard as I tried figuring out an easier water solution. My father and I had just helped my brother with his yard recently where he purchased 50lbs of boxstore fescue for a yard a 1/4 the size of mine and got much slower results. Its not Magical, but if you take the time to prepare the soil and have a really shady yard, you should get good results. I will update once it's been planted for a month.

Was told this seed would grow anywhere. It was seeded in sun/shade and watered regularly. Did not grow!!!!!!!!
