Q: Will it grow considering we have no sprinklers

5 months ago
1 Answer
  • AI-assisted, Human-approved
    A: Hi Neighbor- Yes, this grass can grow without a sprinkler system. Water new DLF Kentucky-31 coated fescue seed 2–3 times daily for short periods (5–10 minutes) to keep the top inch of soil consistently moist until germination, typically within 8–21 days. Once seedlings emerge, reduce watering to once a day, eventually transitioning to 1–1.5 inches per week after establishment

Q: Is it endophyte free?

5 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Neighbor! No. It is generally not endophyte-free. Kentucky-31 usually contains the naturally occurring endophyte fungus, which helps the grass resist heat, drought, and insects, but can be harmful if grazed by livestock.

The Grass is Always Greener

It’s all about the prep work. If you have good dirt, this will grow quick. Great value for the money and good for covering large property. Using it on 1.2 acres. It’s not you Augusta national grass but it looks good after a season

Recent dry conditions in the Piedmont of North Carolina make it hard to evaluate this product. Having a country property and being on a well makes watering adequately impossible.

Weather 1; Seed 0

9 months ago
Grass seed description & price paid at TSC met my criteria; however, weather patterns for my area followed previous years with rain missing my area during germination period. I have 1.5 acres, so watering isn't a practical answer. I'm hoping the coating on the seeds helps when winter ends next year. I don't know if the coating repels birds from eating, but did not notice any flocks feasting in my lawn where seed applied.

Find the uncoated seed or try something else

10 months ago
I bought the UNCOATED version of this grass 2 years ago with decent results. I purchased 2 bags of this coated seed with less than Reasonable results. Maybe 50 percent germination after 5 weeks Where I core berated, dethatched, slice seeded and top dressed with compost. And the fact that coated seed in itself is a scam and provides no benefit other that instantly double the profit

No, I do not recommend this product.

Unsatisfactory grass seed

11 months ago
Wish I read the reviews! This is absolutely the worst seed I have ever bought!!! Aerated, dethached, cut existing lawn to 2.5 inches and applied starter fertilizer along with seed. Ground temp was 69 degrees, air temp in mid 70’s in zone 7. Watered 3 times a day for a month now. Seed finally germinated at week 3. It appears it stopped growing once it hit 1 inch tall. Not sure at this rate of growth it will survive the winter. Will not spring seed, waste of money to me. I’ll probably have a 14,000 square foot mud hole in backyard next spring. Should have bought a cheap bag of contractor mix! Stay away from this seed.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Pennington Kentucky 31 fescue

11 months ago
My survey comments may be alittle premature… but since you asked… I am somewhat disappointed with this fescue seed as it seems only 50-60% of 50# bag has actually germinated. Possibly the seed has not had sufficient time to properly germinate as it’s only been 1-1/2 weeks since seeding over newly dethatched established Bermuda yard. Hopefully, it will continue to grow…

Nice weed and grass blend.

a year ago
Bought this grass about a month and a half ago. Planted and cared for as instructed. I watered it every day. When the grass started growing, I was satisfied, however, about three weeks in when I first cut it, I noticed an abundance of weeds. My yard had weeds here and there, pretty much only near the edges, but after the plant of this seed, my entire front yard, where I put the seed, have these weeds.my side and back yard, where I didn't plant the seeds, don't have these particular weeds. I wanted to plant a couple rounds of seeds but am 100% going with a different brand. I don't recommend this at all and don't know how I'm going to fix it. I was better of with the thinner yard without this mess. Someone might say they have a disclaimer about containing other seeds other than fescue and I'm here to say, this isn't an acceptable amount.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Do not buy this grass seed, did not grow for me.

I spent close to $200; it's been close to 4 weeks since I purchased and applied this grass seed which "barely", has germinated. Such a waste of money and time. I usually have great luck when purchasing anything from TSC. Not this time, would not recommend this seed.

Lots of seed wasted due to clumping in bag.

Relatively quick growing tall fescue. Way too many fist size clumps of seed stuck together (due to coating) make use in a spreader very time consuming.
