Know the Facts BEFORE you Buy
You have seen it advertised on TV. I hesitate to call it a scam, BUT there are definitely some red flags to consider. There is no listing on their web site listing what type of seed is included in the mix (not all seed works in our area). You can purchase a mix for our area right here at L & S Gardens. Why take a chance.
They claim to have a 30 day money back guarantee. This is not enough time to get it growing.
If you have numerous dead patches, excessive weed growth or bald spots, this grass seed will not make it green and lush as they advertise.
The ads say little watering is required. For root growth you do need to water. This is not rocket science. Putting in a lawn is hard work, so purchase the best perennial seed. I suggest 1/3 Kentucky Blue, 1/3 Turf Type Rye and 1/3 Fescue.
Many of these above ground trails are mistakenly thought to be from moles. Actually in our neck of the woods these trails are made by voles or also referred to as field mice, forging voles tirelessly feeding on the crowns of healthy lawn blades creating small tunnels under the snow pack. Hidden from predators, under snow cover, these trails become a vole super highway leading to their underground burrow. Once the snow starts to melt the trails are easy to see. I couldn’t believe the damage the voles had done to our lawn on the north side of the house, trails running everywhere.
