Germinated fast, prep your soil first and water often in beginning
I bought a house in mid central Texas that has the heavy clay soil that turns to brick and cracks in the sun. It’s like glue when wet. My yard gets about a full day of sun, usually over 100 degrees. I had patches all over. Looked like a earthquake happened. Pure neglect. So I aerated the yard, watered often, layed down humid acid, fertilized, and eventually put down this grass seed with a 1/2 inch of coir on top. The whole process was about 2 months of work. I’m lazy ish. The seed sprouted immediately. Within 2 days thanks to the whole process giving it the perfect environment. I no longer have patches. I even got the seed to grow under a tree that hasn’t been able to support grass in years. My new neighbors have visited to compliment the yard. Many of them. The seed germinates and grows well. I definitely recommend it. You have to prep your soil first. Nothing grows in dry dead soil. Seedlings take more watering to allow root development. You can’t put a baby in the sun all day, ya know? Human error is why people fail with this. Take the steps and THEN put this seed down. You’ll be rewarded.

This stuff is amazing
My yard if you wanted to call it that was basically sand due to a weed we call Florida snow. A lot of that was because I had neglected it for years. Then I bought this Bermuda grass along with The Andersons PGF Balanced 10-10-10 Fertilizer with Micronutrients and 2% Iron (5,000 sq ft), and I couldn’t be happier. Where I had sand I now have a really thick front lawn of Bermuda grass. I bought Pensacola Bahai for my backyard using the same fertilizer and it’s growing but I’m skeptical about it. Just not the same growth rate so I ordered Scotts Bermuda grass and more fertilizer tonight and I’m sure I’ll have a nice thick lawn in the backyard shortly. I used aScotts Whirl Hand-Powered Spreader for Seed, Fertilizer, Salt, Ice Melt, Handheld Spreader Holds up to 1,500 sq. ft. Product to put it down. A lot of people look at it and go ” What a joke” it’s not we used these when I worked at a golf course because you could see the spread, and also because the push spreaders dumped more seed and fertilizer than it distrusted it. This is costly but well worth it. Just remember for the 1st few weeks you need to water every day until the seed takes root.

I have learned some things about growing Bermuda grass in the Phoenix dirt.
I’m giving this grass another try next summer. One thing I have done in my life is I have grown a lot of grass. I’m talking about the stuff you walk on. One thing I had never tried before last summer is growing grass on a plot of desert land that had probably never grown anything before. Where I used to live, if clear all of the vegetation off of a piece of land, grass will grow back. I never thought it would be hard to grow the stuff.On my first try, I put down a thin layer of good garden soil. Then I threw down the grass and some fertilizer. After about two weeks, I had maybe two small patches. I started to read up on what went wrong, and then I tried again.The second time, I thatched my yard pretty thoroughly. I pulled about an inch of dead waste material which was mostly from a 20 year old oleander I had removed. That was probably the most critical step. Then I put down a much thicker layer of garden soil (a little more than the inch that I took off). I followed that up with the grass seed, and then I threw a very thin layer of paver sand on top of that for a dressing. The results were much better, but by the end of the summer when overseeding time came, I still only had growth on about 2/3 of my lawn. I didn’t dare put down fertilizer a second time even though I brought in soil. That, combined with the fact that it was 120 degrees for most of the week after I planted the second try, might have contributed to my abysmal results.I wasn’t going to overseed, but I was in a hurry to get some green back there. For my overseeding project, I scalped the lawn and used Scott’s Perennial Rye Grass. I kept the dirt mixed with clippings from scalping the lawn, and I used that for a dressing instead of sand I didn’t use fertilizer until the sprouts started appearing, and then I put down a light dusting.The results were pretty awesome. I have a very lush, green lawn right now except a couple of bare spots that don’t get a lot of sunlight. It’s going to be time to plant Bermuda again in a couple of months. I’m going to use the same process I used to get the perennial rye to take off to see what happens. If I have good results, I’ll update my review and increase my rating.EDIT: I’ve finally had success growing Bermuda grass.I had another unsuccessful attempt at the end of April, which is admittedly too early to plant Bermuda. I thought it would be okay because I saw other Bermuda yards greening up. Towards mid-May, I made an attempt that I thought was going to be my final attempt. After about a week with no results, I thought I was going to give up when I went out side on one hot morning to find some sprouts. So I watered for a few more days, and beautiful sproutlings appeared. Unfortunately, I had to leave town for two days when the temps were in the 110s, and all of my sproutlings died.I was convinced to give it one more try. I had a small amount of this left, and I bought a package of Pendleton Bermuda Grass seed to finish it up. I opted for a different brand simply to compare. Here is what I have learned about growing Bermuda grass in Phoenix.1. It has to be very warm. Bermuda grass will not germinate unless it can maintain a constant temperature in excess of 80 degrees. My opinion is that Bermuda grass germinates the best when the highs are over 100 and the lows are around 80. I believe that if Bermuda grass has started to germinate but has not yet sprouted, long term exposure to temps below 70 will kill it. The good news is, the germination period for Bermuda grass if done properly appears to be only three days.2. Working the soil is key. I thatched again this Spring, leaving what little Bermuda grass I had left from last year. I laid down another inch of good dirt (this time I bought some Miracle Grow brand dirt from Costco). Then, I soaked that dirt so that it was saturated before laying down the seed. Then, I dressed it with another very thin layer of the Miracle Grow dirt. The difference, and this is huge, is that a soil that is high in decomposed vegetation is able to retain water much better than the native Phoenix dirt. After laying down the dressing, I fully saturated all of the dirt with a liberal application of water.3. I don’t think there is a such thing as “too hot for Bermuda” as long as you are willing to invest the water that it will take to keep the soil wet when the seeds are germinating. It took almost exactly three days for me to notice my first seeds sprouting. For about five days, I watered 4-5 times a day making sure that the soil never dried up. Once I started to get some good coverage, where enough green was present for the plants to start being able to produce their own food, I decreased my water application to three times daily. When the plants got high enough to mow, I decreased my water application to once a day in the early morning.The Pendleton seed seemed to grow about as well as the seed from Scotts. I just mowed my first section of the Scotts seed today. I planted the Pendleton seed about a week later, and I will probably post another review there if I get as good of results as I did with the Scott’s seed.

Don’t use ahead of a week long deluge.
I’ve used this seed to great success in my lawn before. Recently purchased again for another portion of my lawn thanks to how well it went. I’d include a photo of how great this stuff is if we didn’t get absolutely flooded and all of the seed couldn’t take. If you can get a roller to help it makes the results even better, however this seed can take even after simply raking the yard.

DId not work
After following the instructions and watering the lawn ( doubling my water bill), it did not help. I spread it the last week of March and spread it with a Scotts in a 15ft by 20 ft area. After almost 2 months, hardly any germination occurred. I got this as being advertised as designed for full sun, and has high drought resistance with high durability. I even had a lawn company come and fertilize but it did not help. Maybe I got an old batch. I would like to try it again if Scotts send me a new bag or get my money back.
Gardener –
Absolutely disappointing. No results at all. The sprouts came out after a week or so, with regular watering and soil preparation and maintenance, and then just stop developing. Waisted money and most importantly, time.
