Aftercut20500113 Lawn Patch Fix, 64 Patches, 4.8 kg, Nylon/A

I used this a couple of years ago to fix some patches where the dog likes to pee. The grass produced is quite resilient. It has quite large blades and very deep green. It looks really nice and can withstand wear and tear well, and dog urine to some degree but it’s not very soft. But softer, lighter grass does not wear as wellI went through the motions again this year as the really wet winter killed off some other areas of grass in the garden. This stuff does work but it is not quite as easy as the listing suggests. You really must prepare the ground well:Turn the soil over. Rather than just lightly raking the soil as the instructions say I stuck a fork in and really turned it over properly. Break up and chunks into dirt.Take some time to remove any old / dead grass, weeds and roots.You also need to regularly water the patches. 3-4 times a day ideally. At the very minimum twice a day. If the ground dries out the seeds die. Keep ‘em wet!Even in my small garden different areas take different amounts of time to show results:Areas which get a lot of sun will see some shoots after 14 days. A decent covering after 21 days. Thickening up after a month.The more shady areas took 3 weeks to show any shoots. After 4 weeks it is still not as full as the sunny patch. I expect it will be another week at least.So for shady areas you need to allow at least 4 weeks probably more like 5 weeks. And you must keep watering regularly for this entire time!So I would say this product does work, and the grass produced is very hardy but it is not as quick and easy as suggested.

Sadly my dog has destroyed my lawn with her urine and I needed something to fix it. After reading many mixed reviews I opted this for as it seemed to be the best out there for the price.I think the pack itself is very misleading, 64 patches is the claim, however, I managed around 20. I didn't weigh each one as i am not that sad but i dont feel it will do 64 patches as advertised and for this I am giving 4 stars. I think if i was sparing with it then it wouldn't have worked as effectively.Its really easy to use, simply follow the instructions of removing the dead grass with a hand rake, adding the mix and then lightly water. I then watered it almost everyday for around 2 weeks and it worked a treat. I still have more patches as she has created more since then but I am hoping over time I can reverse that as the new seeds come through.I will definitely buy again!

What a lifesaver! After adopting a scorched earth policy on my lawn due to it being full of weeds and clover (resulting in it having bare patches everywhere due to weeding & feeding) this patch fix does the job beautifully.I've tried two application methods - 'sprinkle and leave' and 'sprinkle and cover' - covering with compost or topsoil definitely leads to a better result. Visible results appear after 10-14 days and when they do, the grass grows like wildfire but you must be careful when mowing the first time as the roots are still poorly established - cut as long as possible or avoid the patches altogether until next time. The patches are denser and greener than elsewhere and they appear to suffer less from dry spells. They also withstand pet urine (one of my cats has a blatant disregard for my valiant gardening efforts).At this price and box size it's great value. I won't be using anything else from now on!

I followed the instructions on the packet and after a couple of weeks I could see new grass growing in some areas but it didn't grow everywhere I had laid it.

Always use this make as its very good

I had long-standing issues with lawns laid with poor quality turf (by developers) and then affected by canine urine. This product seems to work well, though in my limited experience it is necessary to use quite a lot on each patch and to be careful to get the product right up to the edges of the damaged area. After maybe a week there seems to be good growth if it's kept well watered. Recommended.

Good
