Re: Grass in the backyard 33Nov 29, 2008 8:39 am The brand of seed you use will most likely be the reason why it was patchy. Nearly every seed available retail has a low germination rate and your result is fairly typical. Always choose Munns (not their budget one though) Munns have the best seed quality available and the highest germination rates of all the seeds available. I would try that before blowing money on hydroseeding.
It is a bit gymicey to me. What seed do they use? What is the germination rate of the seed they use? What type of seed is used? In most cases you won't know, when you buy a Munns seed packet it tells you exactly what you are getting. hydroseeding is normally used in large areas where it does become cost effective. It also slows errosion in new construction areas and stops mess blowing around. I would not suggest using it domestically, much better options.

We are looking at starting our backlawn at the moment, about 200sqm so not interested in using roll out, which we plugged at the front. Had done a bit of research into the munns, what stuff do you think is their best seed Fu Manchu? Re: Grass in the backyard 35Dec 18, 2008 6:15 pm The arid for sure. It has an excellent germination rate too. Re: Grass in the backyard 37Dec 18, 2008 10:01 pm for others reading this, the Munns "sun and shade" is a great option when any shade is across the area to be planted.

We are going to try out a native lawn for our new house. Weeping grass (Microlaena Stipoides) requires minimal watering once established. Re: Grass in the backyard 39Dec 18, 2008 11:13 pm great idea excellent
There are loads of good options for alternatives to the common turfs we know. Re: Grass in the backyard 40Dec 18, 2008 11:21 pm I will take a pic of the pooch cooch I planted 35 days ago....
It is by far the best grass seed I have ever used and the results speak for themselves. I have tried lots of different brands (like brunnings etc) and this stuff is phenomenal.
