    Sunday Rocks!

    So far I love my Sunday Smart Lawn Plan. I have never had to mow on the high settings into August until this summer. We had a unusual dry season yet my lawn looks amazing.

    Works fast, beautiful grass

    I received this grass seed for free from Influenster to test on my lawn for my honest feedback. I had some bare patches to fill and this was so easy to sprinkle on them directly and control the amount used. I planned it to use it right before a rainy fall week and grass started sprouting up in a about a week. This is good to use in fall so the grass roots before winter dormant season and it will come back full in the spring. I think you could use it in the spring or summer too as long as you water it if you're in a drought.
