Does the grass expand or would I need to buy more seed to fill the desired area?

I don't think it ecpanded. I hate to sow seeds and put screen netting on top because the birds ate up all the seeds in one day. The seeds do geminate very fast and grass grows quickly. I very much like the product.

If you are planting in the ground and want a lot of plants, space the single seeds out 2 - 3 inches although it depends on which plant you are seeding. You may want to put a few more seeds in each hole for parsley, chives and cilantro. I have a small kitchen garden box so I put up to six seeds in each hole and will thin them as necessary. Germination is good but be patient.

My soil is regular brown, the difference on the color of the earth is based on their minerals. I dont know, but you can try it! In my experience this grass likes shades area because it help maintain the soil fresh. In sunny (warm) places the seed may take more time to sprout (1month or less). About the roots, they are individually separated. Maybe in the future they can become entangle and provide a strong support for your soil. Hope this helped.

This will spread grasses, clovers, and just about any seeds. It doesn't do mixed of different sized seeds well, as the hole is not set for several seeds. You will get a heavy mix of small seed, and only sparse larger seeds. So... making several passes with different sized seeds is a must. Also this works well for a small scale seeding.

u really can just scatter but then the seeds can move around when watered. so dirt on top holds them in place. where u put them is where they grow. they do not fill in or spread like normal grass. good for areas u cant grow grass.

I seeded a much smaller area than your's using a hand-held manual seeder. Its opening would close down allowing only a very small amount to fall through onto the scatter wheel. If your spreader will close that close I would believe that mixing with another material would not be necessary. If it will not I think that you could mix the clover seed with some fine sand or other grass seed before spreading it.

They expand about 20%. They are still long and skinny and pretty much work best with Aerogarden products. If any are too small, just stab a toothpick through at the level you want it to rest on the rim.

I have used it for spreading grass seed, fertilizer and pelletized lime. For grass seed, you have to play with the setting in order to realize the amount of seed that you wish to apply to your lawn area.

I live in Alabama, mighty hot place in the summer. I bought 10 # of the treated and fertilized coated clover seed and broadcast over the yard. Clover grows to 8-9 inches tall, if fertilized. I don't fertilize. I want it to take over the grass so that mowing isn't necessary. Not fertilized the clover doesn't grow as tall. It's the fertilizer that provides the energy for the clover seed. I believe that every seed has sprouted and is doing well. Besides, the investment for 10# of seed isn't huge. I believe that you will be pleased, as I.

Uh yeah, but why would you want to....? It' supposed to retard weeds and anything else. Youd have to put soil on top of it and the plant new grass seed.....

We used it this year in an area with NO grass- planted in March and reseeded a few weeks ago and it is full and soft and green! Just be sure to water a lot :) Good luck!

Once established, it will depend on a variety of factors. I've never let it grow too long, so I can't say how long it will grow, but I mow once a week. However, I water a few times a week and fertilize often. As with any grass, those factors, along with others, I'm sure, will determine how fast the grass will grow. I will say this, however, this particular brand put Patchmaster to shame!

Yes, but the grass that you grow in it originally is too large for the container after a week or two.

Spread width is very much a factor of the type of material and speed. Typically I probably assume roughly 20' spread width in open field areas with typical granular lime or fertilizer and moderate speed. If I slow it down I can probably get down to about a 10 feet spreading width. The seed won't run as far as the lime and fertilizer. I have been very satisfied with this unit, especially the stability on uneven or sloping land, where some other less stable units would tend to turn over.

It expands quite a bit but having limited space won't make much difference. It'll just form the to the amount of space you give it.

You can add as you go, but you need to fill all the openings on that level so that the soil is even and the roots are covered. this way the roots will not be disturbed when you add more. However don't wait to long to add or the plants in there may sprout runners from the top, if this happens you can use them to fill the next level of outlets. Happy planting :)

I myself just use regular birdseed, it has some sunflower seeds in it. I can't keep mine full enough.
