It will grow if you follow the instructions
As most of you I was skeptical about buying Growtrax, after watching multiple videos and doing some research I decided to buy 250 sq ft. I prepped the soil and made sure every last little weed was pulled or dead with Ortho. Layed out the Grotrax and watered 2-3x/day as specified and here I am. I’ll let my pic speak for me. This picture was taken right after my first mow at exactly 5 weeks.

Great product and very easy to install
This stuff is fantastic! So easy to install, although they aren't kidding about not doing it on a windy day. We had a 220 sf old landscaping bed to cover and when we started we didn't think there was any wind at all. However, just the slightest breeze lifted it right up. Even with that, we had it installed and watered within an hour - so much easier than sod!
It is VERY important to keep it moist - it will dry quickly so we covered it with some topsoil to keep it from doing so and watered it a few times each day for about 15 minutes each for the next couple days. The day after installation we had an unexpected severe thunderstorm roll through, and since we are on a hill a lot of the top soil and some of the product was washed out of that bed across the driveway and into another landscaping bed. However, it didn't really make too much of a difference - we had grass growing within 5 days. We continue to water it twice a day for 30 minutes each time - if it doesn't rain.

Garbage
This product is more delicate than tissue paper and has to be kept CONSTANTLY drenched or it WILL blow away in a little breeze. $100 and it lasted 1 day. The photo shows what happens without being watered for 3 hours.

Grotrax is Awesome
This product really works. If you till your yard with no grass or any weeds just dirt,the grotrax soaks in your soil. In one week you will see it grow. Less than five weeks full growth. Just make sure you water it twice a day and just use the shower feature not the jet on your hose. Its better than sod and much lighter to.

No Shortcuts
Maybe too late in season, maybe installed upside down simple or no instructions…. Regular grass seed would have been BETTER!! Actually had hope for this but VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!

Performed as advertised
The easiest grass seeding I have ever done. I had an area about 100 square feet. Followed the directions exactly. Lightly tilled the soil and graded. Rolled out the product and cut to size with scissors. Watered well and continued to water as needed. Germinated in about 14 days and had three inch tall grass in three weeks. The only down side was squirrels digging through the fabric to bury peanuts! No significant problem however.

Works if you keep it wet
Product is too fragile to be stapled down. Instead wet it down till it sticks to the ground as you lay it out, then keep wet with light watering that does not break it up. I planted in September and had seeds germinated after six days.

Wet Paper Towel
This product is basically a paper towel with seed in the middle. It's extremely fragile when wet. As soon as you wet it down, it loses all structure and turns to mush if you move it any, step on it, or even water it too hard.
I'm going to still add a straw mat on top, or thunderstorms will destroy it.
Would not recommend.
