Miracle-Gro 119612 EverGreen Multi-purpose Grass Seed 420g - 14m2

The first time I bought a 420g box of this lawn seed. The packaging date was only 6 months earlier. The lawn came up really well with thick healthy grass.I then bought a large box, 1.6kg. The packaging date was a year earlier. This also came up really well with lovely healthy grass. Both of these boxes were from Amazon.As I was so impressed with the lawn, I bought another 1.6kg box. This time I purchased it from Premium Products WB. However, the packaging date on this box was over two years old! When I tried to grow a lawn with this seed, the grass seed did not grow at all. It was clearly a box of dead seeds.So I wasted £18 on dead seed from Premium Products WB and then bought another box sold by Amazon, expecting it to be no more than a year old again. Unfortunately this box was 18 months old. I have decided to return it and not waste more money on old seed that may or may not grow.So my advice is that when you receive your grass seed, check the packaging date on the base and if it is more than a year old, return it. I wish I had returned the 2 year old box as I literally ended up with nothing for my money.But if you get a good box that is no more than a year old, you could end up with a lovely healthy lawn as my first boxes gave me.

Not fast enough though wish it was pigeon proof.

This was bought to improve some bald patches in my lawn. Having loosened the soil, I mixed this seed with fine compost, and lightly tamped it in. Watered twice a day, and with some fortunate sunshine, it started growing in five days, a lot less that the manufacturer claimed.Has now thickened up and looks marvellous.

Very pleased with quality and speed of delivery.
