Tailored to UK climate, it creates a lush, thick, and durable lawn resistant to pet urine. Review: Nice carpet of green - I mixed the seed with some all purpose compost and sowed it with a light layer of earth over it as well: I've found that this not only speeds germination, but far more of the seeds germinate than when it is just sprinkled on the ground as the supplier suggests. With a light covering of earth I get a really good thick layer of new grass. The first box I bought was sowed in the spring when it was cold, and took a good 3-4 weeks to show. That grass is now thick and healthy and indistinguishable from the rest of the lawn. However the latest batch (which came in an unmarked woven plastic bag) was up and very visible within a week of sowing thanks to warmth and lots of rain. I'm very happy with this seed as it seems to be reliable and germination under ideal temp/moisture conditions is very fast. The grass is good quality, with no sign of leggy rye-grass, and uniform in colour and texture. Wish I had the energy to do my whole lawn with this, not just the places left messy by laying new paths. Oh, and last year I bought turf for some larger areas, which looked fantastic all summer, but died completely over the winter. I've reseeded with this seed over the top, and it's looking good.

Relying on shouting at yr pet to keep it off useless as the h carry it in their paws, fur and in windy weathers you’d be amazed how far it sprays. iUrine from dogs will kill established grass so think what it will do to a baby equivalent? Don’t believe hype around. Seeds for dogs and children etc tc like dogs n sprogs nonsense, they are GIMMICKS..Any company that says differently is lying. Burned grass can NOT be fixed. Cut it out, start again,Concentrated nitrogen which is what diog urine is basically , will burn..end of. Section two areas off..us e the second area , smaller if space is a problem,to use for turf once established for future fill ins and patching up especially with dogs around, you will be glad you did. Use a seed dispenser. Theres a technique of left to tight and double drop sowing almost impossible to achieve by hand, you’ll just get clumpy uneven turf, Fast grow seed is gimmicks,doesn’t work. Germination relies on HEAT in the soil..that’s all. 6 degree minimum . Cool soil will lay dormant until it’s reachers th right temperature. Once shoots appear it needs LIGHT. Insufficient light whilst it is growing will make new grass. Stretch upwards too quickly in search of sunlight and results in Weak and spindly growth. Too much sun and and Your seedlings will scorch, soil I’ll be hard and compacted,needing watering almost hourly?!!! It must remain moist but not wet at all times. Wet soil rots seeds. Therefore NEVER seed after Mid /End june in summer . Or before end of April in spring.IMHO best times are 3rd week in May and end of September ,this is when soil has some warmth .frost will be unlikely and there’s enough sun to feed new growth. Don’t go by the packet for quantity. You need 70 to 90 grams of seed per m2 or 2oz per square yard depending on hat you are fixing, I know you haven’t asked this but when your have your lush grass you start worrying about keeping it lush. NOTHING you add to your dogs dinking water Such as dog rocks can neutralise your pets urine and you shouldn’t even think of messing around like this for anyone reading this. Dogs and grass =burns. Hard work but you must daily flush the areas peed on with water and grass neutraliser and reseeding Twice a year as described should be routine. . section areas off completely, rake , then use pre seed fertiliser three days before seeding, Us e the highest quality seeed you can afford that doesn’t have a specific target to market! Sow seeds with a dispenser and lightly rake again, keep moist but not wet, warm but not full sun.....It will,be three weeks before you will see real growth and a FURTHER SIX weeks after that before you can tread on it. Sorry if this answer is overkill but I really don’t like to see people handing out BS. **Q: can anyone suggest what soil do i need to top it up with and were can i find it cheap in stores in UK?** A: I just raked our ground loose and bunged the seeds on top + watered. **Q: How much seed do I need for overseeding a lawn?** A: If you follow the instructions with any seed packet for grass, you will end up with an incredibly patchy lawn. Sow x2 it recommends. I did and got good results.Once you begin cutting the lawn 3 weeks in, the roots put up new shoots. :) **Q: Our lawn suffers from moss due to clay soil. Will this seed be ok on clay soil once miss is removed** A: Dear Mr Springett, thank-you for your query.Sadly it can be quite a bit more difficult to grow grass seed in soils with a high clay content. However in saying that, there are steps you can take to help. For best results, you will need to break up the clay soil using a rake or other implement (allows aeration and deeper grass roots), add a layer of topsoil (2-3 inches is okay), use compost and gypsum (breaks up clay soil) and finally avoid over-watering the seed as this can compact the clay.Our grass seed does have strong roots, so while we cannot guarantee you will get the results you want in these conditions, it is a good seed to use.To help you with your lawn, I can offer the following; If you try the above method with our grass seed and you find it doesn't work out, contact us directly and we will issue you a free replacement or full refund.I hope we have been of some help, I'm well aware that clay and moss can be very frustrating!

I sowed it around early May, and to keep the birds and dog off, I covered it with fleece for a week until it had germinated. I'm pleased with the result. I've been able to mow it twice already by the end of June and edge it. Still trying to keep off the grass for now though. The results from overseeding weren't as good. I have a long grass pathway which is trampled on many times daily. I covered half the length with seed and put fleece over, and made everyone walk on one side, intending to switch sides when the new grass had grown sufficiently. It's come up, but the patches still look bare with only one or two new blades. I did prepare the new area until it was a fine tilth. The existing lawn was scarified, aerated, cut and the new seeds covered with a fine layer of top soil, so I don't know where I went wrong, though I suspect, the soil wasn't prepared, lots of stones and chafers under there, and the seed the previous owner used wasn't good quality. One thing, it comes in a bag which opens along the 'long side', the wrong edge in my opinion, so once you've opened the bag, it's not easy to store it. I had to tip the seed I was keeping aside into a tin, and cut the instructions from the plastic wrapper and put them in. For starting a new lawn from scratch, this is excellent seed, as long as you prepare the ground well first. ## Frequently Bought Together - GBW Grass Seed 1kg - Covers up to 60 m2 (645 ft2) - Premium Quality Lawn Seed - Rapid Growth – Can Germinate as Quick as 10 days - Hard Wearing against Pet Urine - Tailored to UK Climate - 100% Refund - Miracle-Gro 121187 EverGreen Complete 4-in-1 Spreader, Lawn Food, Weed & Moss Control, 80 m2, Yellow --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/47874903-gbw-grass-seed-quality-lawn-seed-1kg-covers-up-to](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/47874903-gbw-grass-seed-quality-lawn-seed-1kg-covers-up-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
