Will grow well in abused lawn situation or class 5 was laid down
I was surprised that this filled in the gaps on my lawn concerning the prior owner the house had put class 5 down basically what I did was aerate the lawn and thatch it so that there was Rows in the dirt and then I seaded and within about a month to two months the grass is grown in and filled in all the bare spots even over the areas where the class 5 was laid down the only downside of the product is if you're planning in an area that had darker Green Kentucky bluegrass this is much wider blades grass and much lighter green so there is a contrast you can notice

Fills in quick and looks great. Not good for high traffic though.
I've been reseeding my lawn with this for the past few years now. It does a good job of filling in quick, really gives my lawn a nice look. It doesn't hold up to high traffic area's come winter though. About December every year, the area at the edge of my walkway where I take my dog out turns to mud. Part of the problem is bad soil (We are built on very compacted clay soil), but even in parts where I have replaced the soil wear during the winter.
Still great looking grass though.
