Green Velvet 20Kg Lawn Seed The Action Hero

Beautiful and fine deep green luxury grass seed. Gives a dense lawnIf you want a deep green luxury lawn, this is great.Tolerates dappled shady areas well in my experience.Sprouts quickly and reliably if sown/spread with care and watered attentively whilst establishing.Despite last year's 2022 heatwave/drought/hosepipe ban, this grass has come back and survived fully intact.Best mix I have found for a premium/luxury lawn.Interesting to peruse the Barenbrug website who are grass specialists.

We've recently moved into a new house with a fairly big garden. The garden was a bit overgrown and as we removed overgrown shrubs we exposed large areas where the lawn had died. I have a friend who recommended this brand of seed as the manufacturers are experts in their field (pun intended!) - I believe Barenbrug supply grass seed to sporting stadiums so they must know their stuff!I didn't exactly follow the instructions on the pack - I basically cleared the areas of weeds, raked over, gave the soil a bit of a soaking, scattered the seed by hand and then tossed some compost over the top and re-watered. I tried to keep everything watered daily but in practice there might have been a day or two missed.5 weeks on and the patches that I planted have a lovely thick, deep green covering of grass - the only problem is that the rest of my lawn now looks rubbish next to the new grass but that just means I'm going to have to order a bulk load of this stuff!Would highly recommend to anyone who want a lush, green and immaculately looking lawn with very little effort

We have 4 x rabbits who love the mow the lawn, literally have stopped using the flymo hover, and only use the strimmer these days as they mow the garden for us :DHalf the garden is in the shade, the other half isn't, they eat the grass all over and poo in patches which clumps the grass causing patches, also their urine stains and damages creating patches also.We have used fertilizer, miracle grow patch magic (it does work but not as good as this, but will come to that later), and other remedies to try and fix the patches and general gaps / growth issues in the lawn.We took them off the grass and spent two weeks trying to fix it, again.The patches were treated with "The easy fixer" which is similar to patch magic, but works about 50% better. After two weeks there are loads of little tiny grass shoots coming up in the patches, and elsewhere in the lawn (it was spread all over by the wind)....I used this, along with the evergreen lawn feed: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EverGreen-Spray-Feed-Lawn-Food/dp/B004RG2PD8/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1501432532&sr=8-10&keywords=evergreen+complete+4+in+1Also spinkled some rabbit droppings all over the garden as a natural fertilizer.The lawn is now 90% repaired, patchless and they are ready to go back mowing!! :DOf course, your results may vary, but I hope this review helps.

Where it has grown it's nice but patch despite reapplication. Hot weather hasn't helped tbf. Hoping it evens out over autumn and winter. We'll see what happens in spring.

Pleased to see it does a very good job

I did test pots and only got around 10% germanation at best. The image shows another brand with 30% rye. This image is at about 2 weeks. No more seeds germinated after what you see in the image. I also used it for overseeding and didnt notice any change after. I have purchased the A1 lawn pltinum pro (without rye) since and have seen amazing germination after 7 days. I would go with that if you want better germonation and also far nicer looking grass with a more fine / dense structure and also darker colouring. I'm avoiding Barenbrug after this and sticking to A1 lawn for the fine fescue and Germinal for ultra fine rye. These are the best places to go for the highest rated cultivars and germination rates.

Grass seed that will be suitable for kids and yet having a nice finish when mowing. Very thick, it seems to out grow the weeds and the moss that was there before using this product to over seed my front and back lawn. Well recommended for that type of application for sure, id imagine it to be excellent for seeding a new lawn also.Also it must be noted that this seemed to grow in the shaded spots that where essentially bald spots on my lawn, not they are lush green.I've used many grass seeds in my life time.

This lawn seed is fantastic! I've tried many other varieties of grass seed - some of which were more expensive than this - and none of them were anywhere near as good as 'Green Velvet'. The seed grows quickly (given the right conditions or plenty of watering) resulting in a beautiful deep green, fine bladed but thick coverage of grass. I bought this to fill out patches in my lawn but was so pleased that I've purchased another bag to overseed the rest of the lawn. I won't be buying any grass seed but this in the future.
