Does it work on any soil? What happens to existing grass? Low water usage? Look good? Any complaints? Thank U for comments.

It had clover mixed in it. Did not like it and would not buy it if I were you.

I used it on a St. Augustine yard where I needed to clear an area about 4 ft by 15 ft to plant shrubs. It worked well. One word of advice is that it seems to work much better when you go backwards. I had no problem controlling the depth going backwards. Forward seems to skip a lot. I did have to stop once and untangle some of the grass that wrapped around the tiller but I needed a break anyway so it wasn't much of a problem.

It does not run very well on grass unless it is very, very short, like turf. It is very fast and can sometimes get out of grass if say you just barely go off road and get back on pavement quickly, but it is so small with not much clearance, so it does not do grass very well at all. I would suggest a larger scale like 1:10 or larger if you plan on running on grass.

In my experience, it did not work well. It caught about half of the grass. On a perfectly level lawn, it may work better.

I have and it seems to work well. I think it will slow evaporation and keep the soil around the plants moist longer.

I used this last year when I was planting grass. It worked great! I planted the seeds, put fertilizer down, put the straw on top of it, and watered the heck out of it. Now I have the nicest looking yard on the block. I live in CO and it's not easy to grow grass. This helped to hold in the moisture and keep the birds from eating the seed.

I avoid using it on wet grass, doesn't work well and I am already dealing with lumps and bumps. I have been very pleased with the Fiskars. Does what it says it will and I actually enjoy using it.

Needs a lot of water starting off. When it starts to grow it really takes off. I bought this for yard repairs and it grows faster than the original grass.

Hi it works on grass but if wet it will peel out.Flat patio concrete or asphalt is the best. My niece loves it but watch your feet.

We have Floratam grass and it works well, but less is better. If you use too much it stunts the grass for a couple of weeks but it is the ONLY product that works on weeds. We LOVE the stuff, just use as directed :-)

Still works great...keep it clean and use it only when grass is dry meaning not just watered

We didn't buy it...at first. We ended up ordering it because we don't have a flat surface because we put it in grass under trees. The grass really doesn't grow well, as it's more like moss. Anyway, it was helpful for us. I think it could be avoided, but for us it was helpful. Probably not the most helpful answer.

Mix with soil, rainfall or personal irrigation will active. Not messy at all

I think it just senses the moisture. I know it works because when I put it in dry soil it doesn't move and when the soil is wet it does. That's all I can tell you. it does work.

I think if you have a level surface and you line it first so the liner goes up the sides and use a soil that will absorb the water, it would be fine. Garden soil usually has absorbing beads in it. I placed mine on the grass and lined it with weed liner and it worked great. Once you have all the soil in it, it is very stable and the plants are beautiful.

I have never wet the ground as we live in AZ where it is continually dry. However, when the rain does come it seems to wash it down the rocks (where the weeds grow after a rain) and I have had great success with this product. I think it works best when it is going to rain soon. I don't have to pull weeds anymore!

Yes, amend your soil of any rocks or dried grasses, at this time when ground is level and ready for planting,spread in your fertilizer, I used this product as some of the reviews gave a good result. But, I found that they soil here has a soft clay so this year I stared to use a Compost Fertilizer, Buffaloloam made from buffalo pooh, It's very rick, no smells and dark dark coloring. and everything in this garden looks like a golf course, The green light a fast result, within days,but, seemed to only have a speedy set to a light coloring. With the Buffalo loam compost, it's great for every living thing, except humans..Please feel free to ask any questions .if I have not answered your question. English is my second language and the English has been a challenge all the years. Brenda
