I fixed a spot of dead grass on my lawn using the Scott's Patchmaster lawn repair kit. To my surprise, this stuff actually worked really well.

  • Well, this stuff works but it's overpriced.

    You can get the same results with a bag of topsoil and small bag of seed.

  • @flanksteak2 Yes and that would take all Summer to grow as stuf this only takes about 14 days. Unfortunately, our Summer here in central Alberta are very short and we don't really have time to watch the grass grow.

  • What did you do with the dead grass, did you dig it out, leave it? Did those seedlings last over time, what happened once it hit the hard soil? I'm betting that repair eventually failed, grass seed will grow in mulch, the real test is will it survive in following months.

  • @GrassStitcher The dead grass went to Edmonton's composte facility as it was left in clear bags with garbage collection. The video was made the Summer of 2009 and the grass stayed nice through that whole Summer. It lived through the first Winter, and we get real Winters up here. It was still nice and green through the 2010 Summer as well.

    I ALWAYS heard to water it at night so the Sun won't heat up the water and FRY it?

    Who knows GRASS sucks and is OVERPRICED!

  • @HillaryHitler Don't water the grass at night, it will get lawn fungus and die in large chunks. Planting grass mid-summer is a nightmare, the soil is too hot requiring a lot of water, and over-watering kills the grass (fungus). I'm going to try again in September, when the soil is cooler and less water is needed (no fungus).

    

  • @xray2526 With air temps around 60 degrees or so and soil temps around 50ish, grass seed germinates in about 5 days and grows about an inch a week.

  • Follow up, it has been TWO weeks since I put this down and NOTHING, watered EVERYDAY and it looks like a pile of Oatmeal dumped on the lawn.

  • I just had my driveway redone, and due to the yard being torn up I just bought $50.00 worth. It has been almost one week

    I water it at night around 9pm and then 5am in the morning

  • @alejonsu ya because u probably dont water it everyday!
