The instructions for this grass says to use 1 lb for every 1000 sq ft. We did this, plus a little more, and the grass is coming in a little thin. Hopefully it will fill in more over time because, at this point, we are planning on using more grass mixed with extra soil to actually have a full lawn. Otherwise, the price was great and the product seems of high quality. It is difficult to find organic grass seed suitable for our needs so it was nice to find this fescue mix. I would recommend this product to others.
This is really great grass for our high desert backyard. We water frequently but have a tough shady spot on the north side that can't sustain most grasses but this one works great. We reseed every year to keep it thick and weed free. It grows well with clover in our HOT and dry climate with irrigation. Great green and it looks really nice if we forget to mow it, kind of like a prarie grass.

I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.
Appreciate that you have this in bulk quantities. We use this as a rooting hormone and as a potting mix and soil supplement. Kelp meal is rich in minerals and micro-nutrients and contains growth hormones that support healthy root growth.
Helps me keep the ants down on my property. Place outside and keeps ants down even in your house.
I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
