*** READ THE SEED LABEL!! ***
Guys, If you're looking to fill in a blank spot and dont care about the grass type, then that's fine. Annual Ryegrass (Italian Ryegrass) will grown in quickly, however, it is an annual grass which means it will only last the 1 year. My lawn looked horrible the following spring... This frustration led me to learn more about lawn care, grass type and redo my entire lawn. If you want a nice lawn, YOU HAVE TO GET GREAT GRASS SEEDS, PERIOD!. i learned my lesson.

Grass died in less than a month.
The grass started off great and died after a few rain showers in less than a month. I watered it on dryer days in the evening and was even able to mow it once.

The VIGORO 20 lbs. Contractor's Grass Seed Northern Mix with Water Saver Seed Coating is an excellent product. I actually tested it against another premium quality seed preferred locally and it germinated approximately a full week sooner and produced stronger growth without a lot of watering. We had a rather dry couple of weeks after I planted the bare spots and, admittedly, was very pleased with the rapid germination. Another plus, the percentage of Vigoro seed that germinated was higher than the other brand which surprised me as well.

Grass stays green all year long
This is a great product. I highly recommend it. I could never grow grass with other seeds but this one did the trick.. I over seed the whole lawn. But when it grows it grows. You will have to cut grass every week though. These picture will my dog is winter time.

Coming in really nice after about three weeks, still a bit patchy but starting to fill out. Initial sprouts had a reddish tint - I was a bit worried because a few days after seeding we had a late season snow event, dumping almost six inches on top of the seeds. Not sure if this was related or not, but regardless within a couple days of the initial sprouts the grass turned very green. Now after three weeks its about three to four inches high, very green and healthy.

The seed varieties in this Vigoro Southern Mix are a good blend for a problem area that I have in my backyard. The quick sprouting Italian Ryegrass and Barduke Kentucky Bluegrass both provide some instant coverage while the Bariane Tall Fescue is reliable for its hardiness in a variety of conditions.
In order to assure an evenly spread application, I used a Vigoro handheld spreader with a low setting and did several runs over the subject site. Most of the seed sprouted within a week and continues to develop and fill in rather nicely.

Coated Grass Seed
This “southern mix” grass seed has a coating that helps retain water to make seeds sprout faster. I’m waiting till a little later this spring till it warms up a little more before overseeing some areas of my yard where I need it, but I had a bare spot where I only had clover and some weeds. I spread some of this seed on that spot in mid March. We had several days where it was down in the 40’s and 50’s at night but got up into the 60’s during the day, and we had significant rain. I checked on the spot in the yard exactly two weeks later, and even in these cooler temps, I had great growth of this seed. I’m pleased with how easy it was to germinate, and it looks like it is coming in beautifully. This is a mix grass seed that is good for quick growth and ground cover, maybe not your ideal manicured landscape type grass, but it perfect for my purposes.

I've found Vigoro water saver coated seed to be on par with more expensive brands. Used for new area seeding as well as overseeding, I've found the Vigoro water saver coated seed has produced superior germination and growth results for me. As an example, I top leveled a couple of areas, rejuvenated front foundation plantings and seeded with Vigoro water saver coated tall fescue seed early last fall. The seed quickly germinated and overwintered beautifully here in Zone 6B. I'm rehabiiltating a lawn that had been neglected for years and slowly but surely it's coming back. You'll note from the last pic the results of Vigoro's water saver coated tall fescue seed germinated, grew and overwintered. But with that robust growth and deep green color, I now need to blend with the surrounding area. I chose the Vigoro Contractor's water saver coated seed as this year's over seed because of it's mix of seed hoping those additional grass colors it will blend the new areas with the existing lawn. It's still very early here so within the next few weeks I'll be waiting for a soaking rain to spiker aerate and over seed with the Vigoro Contractor's Blend of water saver coated seed. I don't expect my rural homestead lawn to be meticulous but I'm trying to revive the area around my house and to improve the curb appeal. Vigoro has been a big part of my lawn rehab. It's a brand that I can count on. Given my previous experiences with Vigoror water saver coated seed, I have every expectation that the Vigoro Contractor's water saver coated seed will help blend areas that have been intensively rehabed and new areas that have been seeded. I highly recommend this brand and its products.
