I would like to know exactly what i should do to grow these seeds from the moment i open the bag. What are the steps to get the best grass possible ??

Honestly, I think you would be much better off watching an instructional video on Youtube. That way you can see what the sprouts should look like. Here is a link to a 5 minute one but there are many more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL0URJcZF8w Just watch a few and you will be ready for success.

I reseeded right after using this machine and my grass came in beautifully ( I also used an organic fertilizer). Once you pull up the thatch and moss the nutrients can actually get down into the soil and roots.

I am using my own tomato seeds. Actually, I saved the little plastic inserts that held the sponges--they clean up fine. For seed starting I replaced the little sponge with half a rockwool mini cube. It works great. I was thinking of buying the master gardeing kit but I haven't yet. I'm still on the fence about that, cause I have my own nutrients that I can add to the garden instead and I don't have to spend $40.

I planted 5 seeds and so far one has poked up through the soil. I live in So Calif and have kept them wet. The best way to grow these plants is to buy comfrey roots, but nobody wants to ship comfrey roots to Ca. :(

I ordered organic sprouting seeds (broccoli and alpha alpha) from Todd's Seeds and they came with instructions. There was also a website link with either the seeds or sprouting tray. First time trying and no problems at all.

William, I'll have to be honest with you. I was totally disappointed with Canada Green Grass. I seeded my 1/2 acre with 36 pounds and got nothing!! Go to your local truf store and ask about seeds for your area.

Chris...I never received the seeds so I would not recommend that you buy them from the vendor (SeedsDirect). Good luck finding another source. Peppers in general are fairly slow to germinate (bottom heat helps) and as plants, the more heat the better (full sun). Fertilize well and don't overwater and you will be richly rewarded. Good luck.

Anyone who disses this company for "selling dud seeds" is simply uneducated and making ignorant accusations. The breed of plant is very hard to start, a lot of trial and error. I went through my first 500 seed pack wasting almost all of them. Ive been a gardener for over ten years, meaning im no novice to cultivation. Bestbet is to follow directions I posted below or just put them in the ground. Must be sown in feb. If you are growing them.outside. SEEDS NEED COLD PERIOD TO BEGIN GERMINATION.

I recommend you pickup one of the great books out there on Herb gardens or Urban Self Sufficiency. Starter pots/Beds and and transfer to 4" pots once they are 2" high. There are a lot of other ways to do it, just remember to provide adequate watering and drainage plus indirect sunlight while sprouting the seeds. Pay attention to them daily to have a high suitability rate. Not all seed will germinate and not all plants will survive, THIS IS NORMAL. Older seeds tend to germinate less. Seeds poorly stored also germinate less. Harvest herbs before they flower, unless you are going to harvest the seeds. Have fun!

If your real serious, tribest sells a wheatgrass sprouter that I use to grow so many that we have replaced our buying of lettuce. I found that handy pantry seeds are good, I like the bag it comes in. Todd seeds are good too, just different packaging. I buy all my seeds amazon prime cause shipping to Hawaii is expensive. Aloha

I went out and purchased salad seeds from a local store and used the growing medium supplied in the kit called "Grow Anything" and am having tremendous success. So choose the salad you like and grow it. I have not tried tomatoes but might in the future.

If you want nice grass you should aerate your lawn once/year at least. This involves putting little holes in the ground the grass is growing in. If you already have grass growing & just want it thicker,whether you aerate your lawn or not you can just throw the seed on the top of the ground. The birds will thank you. They won't get it all & some will grow but it's better to aerate,spread the seed & water it everyday for a couple of weeks. In the south it will grow like normal grass.If you're above the Mason - Dixon line my experience with this product is you will need to mow twice a week. This seed will grow grass where other products fail. If you want nice grass you should aerate your lawn once/year at least. This involves putting little holes in the ground the grass is growing in.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

Yes, check your bag of grass seeds (instructions) as to which spreader to use for seeding your lawn.

You have to pull existing weeds then add the Preen. Follow the directions on the back of the bag.

I would suggest using a starter fertilizer instead. I believe that this particular bag does not have enough phosphorus, which your seeds need.

start with about 3 or 4 inches of soil in the bottom of the bag. Then take the 2 inch chunks of cut up potatoes (each must have an eye sprouting) plant and cover them with an inch or 2 of soil. you should be able to plant. a dozen or more in each bag. Keep soil moist and when you see the plants coming thru the soil.cover them up again. repeat process until soil reaches the top of bag. the potatoes should be at several layers when you dig them up after 3 or 4 months. God bless...
