Wow! The new coating helps a lot with germination. Three years ago I used another brand of Midnight when I completely restored my entire lawn and didn't have great germination. I tried this brand and had better luck. This year, I over-seeded bare spots after having to repair many areas due to sewer and downspout repairs in my yard. I ended up over-seeding the entire lawn in late August. The coating helps a lot! Yes, many complain the coating reduces the amount of seed you actually get, but I prefer the coated seeds, like the name brand expensive bluegrass seed that's coated seed for years now. I get better results with coated seed. Protects seed viability? Who knows. Yes it costs more, but the end results are what matters. Furthermore, many folks forget to use starter fertilizer. They forget to continue to use starter after the seed is slowly growing too. I do NOT! It's a must! I like to use the name brand starter in bare spots because it is finer and dissipates better in the ground, especially when only keeping seed moist. When over-seeding my established lawn, I use whatever, but still prefer the finer granular name brand starter fertilizer. Also keeping the seed moist and cooled off during high heat is a must too. We are in a moderate drought where I live in Ohio, but I've been watering. Many neighbors are shocked at my lawn and are asking me what to do now that it's fall. I told them what I do and the products I use. I've had 2 delivery gentleman ask me what I'm using after dropping off my packages. I'm mowing 2x per week, while most are still not mowing at all and haven't mowed in weeks. I highly recommend this product! This seed does take a bit to establish, like most bluegrass seed, so patience and dedication to the future is required. If over-seeding late fall/winter, I recommend not broadcasting crabgrass prevention until the last moment possible in spring. This seed has overwintered well for me here in Ohio. It's a gorgeous dark green color that's fairly disease resistant and drought tolerant considering bluegrass seed.

I waited seven months before writing this review because I wanted to make sure it survived the -10 degree Ohio winter. I got a very late start planting this in 2014 and parts were only one inch tall when it went dormant. It grows very slowly. The color is a stunning deep emerald green. There is no other lawn in my neighborhood that matches this color and this is with regular fertilizer without iron. It is noticeable where my lawn meet my neighbors' lawns and they get lawn service. The word "upright" in describing how grass grows cannot be overstated. It really makes the lawn appear neat and shows up any other plants trying to muscle in. It is easy to rake and shows the lawn mowing pattern for those who like to cut on the diagonal. In retrospect, I would have kept spraying vegetation killer on the tilled soil for two more weeks before seeding just to make sure it was all dead. Then I would have watered just do be double sure. This lawn is only for those with the time and patience for the slow growing qualities that made me choose it in the first place. The winter color is a mix of green and yellow blades unless it is the first winter, in which case it stays green. It was totally green by April 1. I made the big mistake of using straw so I was constantly pulling out weeds and replanting fresh seed. The straw said it was weed free so I don't know what went wrong. Plus, my soil had to be tilled to 6 inches because an invasive grass with deep thick roots had taken over. Our home was the last one built in the neighborhood and it is where they dumped excess gravel. That had to go also. Did I mention the grubs and moles? My lawn was a wreck. I apply grub killer twice a year now. By April 2015, it was four inches tall and weed free and other areas are getting there with the help of fertilizer and full spectrum spray weed killer. Update 2/9/16 We are having record warmth in central Ohio this winter and the grass is still somewhat green. It was warm for several days in December so I mowed it down to the second from the lowest setting and it remained at that height. This enabled me to avoid raking leaves since they blow over the lawn as though it were concrete. It will show yellow footprints if anyone walks across it when it is very cold but so would my old lawn. It is nice, neat and compact looking. Any damage from dogs, etc self repairs withing 6 weeks. I can go as long as ten days without cutting.

I've bought this seed 3 times. The first time I thought I did something wrong when prepping everything. I removed 20 yards of soil, brought in 32 yards of good soil and seeded, watered etc. Grass took forever to come in and was very patchy, filled with weeds and just a horrible product that asks for a premium. I've re did it another time and bought a third time to fill in patchy areas. One of the worst products I've ever used and I've been in landscaping business since 2011. I would not recommend this product.
