Miracle-Gro EverGreen Multi Purpose Lawn Seed 1.6 kg - 56 m2, White

Product Information

Your garden may have a tendency to be dry or the soil may retain a lot of moisture. Both of these factors may have affected your success in maintaining a lush green lawn. Another factor that can impact lawn growth is shade; some grass species don’t grow well in shady areas. It’s one of the best grass seed mixes for families who have energetic children or pets running around the lawn, who also want grass that they can flop down onto for a comfortable sunbathe.

Visually, the results are pretty much the same; you’ll still get a greener, healthier looking lawn, and it also grows pretty fast – you can start reaping the rewards of your labour after a couple of weeks when the lawn starts fill out. Most manufacturer’s will state how much coverage you can get from their product. This can also vary depending on how many grams of seed the manufacturer recommends on using per meter squared. Whereas other grass seeds are more focused on creating soft, fine lawns, this particular mix is made up of 80% Perennial Ryegrass and 20% Strong Creeping Red Fescue which is a hardy combination, well cut out for thriving in less-than-optimal environments.

Best grass seed

It should be noted that we’re not talking about a cheap product here either, with this 1 kg bag costing around 1/3 of some 10 kg bags, but it’s still worth considering if you have the available budget simply due to the finish that can be achieved. Gently rake in and tread the seeds into the soil. Unless it rains, soak with a fine spray and keep soil moist for the next few weeks. Made up of a combination of Dwarf Perennial Ryegrass and finer Fescue grasses, this seed germinates faster than most but still remains hardwearing thanks to its ryegrass content.

If you don’t have the greenest thumbs, a hardy grass seed like RUNADI’s Speedy Grass Lawn Seed is a good option for those who are newer to the world of gardening. It doesn’t require quite as much preparation or maintenance as some of the other seed mixes featured here, and it produces results that are long lasting and easy to maintain. After much to-ing and sowing, we've come to the final decision on the best grass seed... Of course, it had to go to Miracle-Gro EverGreen Complete 4in1. The value for money, phenomenal results, and the variety of what this product does make it go to the top of our list. When to sow grass seed: It’s a pretty easy seed to use, not requiring too much attention except for the usual watering to make sure the area is kept damp. If there is heavy rain within the first few days after sowing, there could be a chance of some seeds getting swept away, so it’s fair to say that the weather can affect results significantly.When it comes to growing grass in shady gardens, be they north facing or shrouded by trees, the results can often be disappointing.

According to All Creatures Healthcare, "The reason that grass seeds can be dangerous for dogs (or even cats) is that they can easily penetrate their outer skin in multiple areas. If left untreated, this can be incredibly painful – in worst-case scenarios, the internal damage it may cause can even be fatal." Q1: When can children and pets return to a lawn treated with Miracle-Gro® EverGreen® Complete 4 in 1? Watering-in: If no rain falls within 2 days, water the lawn thoroughly so that the lawn food starts to work. If you have a large lawn, there won’t be much point in you buying a 400 g bag of grass seed that will only cover 9 – 16 m². These smaller containers are best suited to smaller lawns, offering excellent quality to small areas but not being cost effective in larger ones. Often, you’ll notice that grass seed isn’t made up of just one species of grass. In general, several different variations are combined to improve the overall properties of your lawn.

Mowing: Avoid mowing the lawn 2-3 days before and after treatment. Do not use the first 4 mowings after treatment for mulching. They will be safe to use after being thoroughly composted for 6 months. Create a criss-cross pattern, by sowing half the seed from left to right and the rest from top to bottom. It comes in a large 10 kg bag which can cover an area of approximately 200 m²; however, if that sounds like too much, it will also keep for the next year as well, so any that you don’t use won’t be wasted.
