Grotrax Biodegradable Grass Seed Mat, Year Round Green - 20 Sq Ft Patch N Repair- All in One Growing Solution for Lawns, Dog Patches and Shade -Just Roll Water&Grow - Not Fake or Artificial Grass

So I have see all kinds of reviews on this stuff, but I will 100 percent tell you that it worked in my yard, even in the shade. In the picture there is a rectangle of grass and then patches. The lush rectangle is the grotrax and the patches are regular seeding. They were done within a week of each other. It has been 6 weeks. All we did was lay it down and water it 1 time a day. We had a heavy rainstorm about a week after laying it down, that also helped a lot. Use lots of extra water every few days and it grows like crazy. Our yard was completely barren, our soil was mostly sand, and nothing was growing before.

I purchaser 2 lawn patching products and laid side by side, The 2 products were "Patch N Repair" and "EZ Straw". Both products were watered by auto misting sprays. No germination whatsoever with "Patch N Repair" while "EZ Straw" is growing well after 3 weeks. I laid 50 square feet of "Patch N Repair" not 1 seed germinated while all areas of "EZ Straw" did well. Either the growing conditions required for "Patch N Repair" are so precise it only grows in idyllic conditions or it is a faulty product which make it useless for general lawn patching. I would have thought there would be at least a square inch that germinated at least but it failed 100%.

Seller was great product doesn't sprout like it says.

The trick is not to just moisture the product but to shower soak it good. I did this twice a day from the beginning for 2-1/2 weeks and the grass started to appear at 1" height. Mine is growing thick with no dead spots.It has been three months now since I laid it down and it is around three inches in height and has been through the cold and in the hot sun. No problems.How I did it:1. Cleared off area until completely bare. 2. Lightly shower sprayed that area. 3. Laid down the product and shower soaked from then on.I have a 2nd roll laid down elsewhere and after 3 weeks, it also is starting to sprout.The more water it sees, the better.

Came in the mail quickly and was rolled up in a nice package. I laid the roll down on an area in my back yard and also laid out some seed from the local Home Depot about 3 weeks ago. The Patch N Repair has an obvious head start compared to the regular seed. So far I am happy with this product. My only problem is the fact that I cant keep my dogs from playing on my newly planted seed :(

Over priced. Like all new grass requires constant watering and does not come as advertised.

Grotrax Patch was easy to use. I followed the instructions. It was a waste of time and resource as there was absolutely no growth. After a month, I pulled it up and tossed it in the garbage.

I actually was not expecting this to work so I bought the smallest roll in order to waste the least amount of money. There isn't a whole lot of this on a small roll, but it's great for a trial run. I put some good soil down first, laid this stuff out, and then watered it two or three times a day for a week, and lo and behold I actually have green grass where I've tried forever to get grass seed to grow. I think the trick is watering a few times a day. We had days in the 90's right after I laid this out, plus I sort of mutilated it by having the water pressure too high for the first watering ( a mist or light sprinkle is better), but still this stuff persevered. Like I said, I am as surprised as anyone else, but it actually worked for me. May buy some more for another area, but need to get more dirt first because having some good top soil may make a difference as well.
