Best Grass Seed Ever!


I'm so happy with the results of this grass seed I just had to write about it!

For years we tried to grow grass at our old house with no luck. Oh sure... it would grow, but the second we walked on it, the grass would die!

So when we moved into our new house we decided to try our hand at grass seed again. We kind of had to. My husband drove on the front lawn all winter so we could easily unload our boxes at the front door, great idea, right? Well, when the snow melted in the spring, all the grass was dead...lesson learned!

Here it is, SCHULTZ High Traffic Lawn. We purchased it at Menard's for about $7 for a (small) 3lb bag, but in my opinion it's worth every penny.

Being very pregnant, I just wanted easy. So I thought I would experiment with one bag of grass seed first. I didn't do any prep at all to amend the soil. Just opened the bag, sprinkled it by hand onto the dead lawn, and watered. Voila, we have grass!

It's been about a month now and we have mowed it three times. SUCCESS. It's still living! And it keeps getting thicker every day.

Here's a photo of the bag along with our new green lawn.

  1. Hardy and drought-tolerant, hard fescue is disease resistant and can survive salt contamination, making it a good grass for areas near salt treated roads. main types of gas leaf blowers
