Old Cobblers Farm™ Wicked Tuff Turf Winter Rye Seed — Cold-Hardy Cereal Rye Cover Crop, Erosion Control, & No-Till Green Manure, Uncoated, USDA Zones 2–8 (5 lbs | 10 lbs | 15 lbs | 20 lbs) (10 lb)

I used it for to cover several large bare areas in my yard to prevent erosion until l plant my lawn with a warm weather grass such as Bermuda. As a cover grass it has sprouted pretty fast with little preparation except a shallow rake in. I think it will do well until I replant. I understand that it fixes nitrogen and is good for the new grass once it’s tilled in. I will have to see how it does in the early spring.

It did exactly what I wanted it to do. Created a quick winter ground cover to hold soil in place. All I did was throw it out and in a few weeks I had a nice yard full of grass even in cold weather.

Bought a 5 lb bag. Spread with a Scott’s hand spreader, raked it in and watered next day and on third day. NOTHING came up. Don’t waste your money on this brand!!!

I live in the south and have a centipede lawn that goes dormant in the cool season. Have used rye grass during the cool period for asthetics. Never been pleased with past results. Saw this product and gave it a try. This is exactly what I wanted to see! Very easy to establish and the results were amazing!! I had a bare area on a shady side of my house that would never take. Just threw it out there by hand to see what would happen. It is even staying green as it is warming up where other types of ryegrass die back by now. I am going to do my whole yard next fall!! AWSOME product.

These seeds are large and easy to spread on bare patches with little prep. They are sprouting well now in March as weather warms. It is a very thick stemmed grass that should hold soil well on steep hills.

Today, weeks since I scattered the no-till winter rye I saw my very first sprout. Not many but at least a few. I have not previously responded because I didn't have anything good to write, but today I do...a few sprouts. There were no instructions with the seed. I had no idea it would take this long to sprout. We have had plenty of rain, a number of good sunny days, some decent temperatures and days that were not conducive to new growth but I truly expected sprouts earlier. If I do this again I will spread seed in early to middle October. I cannot recommend this product but it could be as much my fault as it is the product's.

This is the second time we purchased this grass. We're very satisfied with it. Grows great in shady areas. Arrived on time and intact.

Packaged well, exactly as described
