Lawn seeds are not grass
We decided to buy Bigbag lawn seeds in September 2017. We prepared our soil properly, planted and watered religiously as per the instructions. However we saw ****s and 'veld type' grass coming up as opposed to lawn grass. We eventually bought a total of 6 bags hoping that the empty spots will fill up with grass but to no avail. I have sent numerous emails with photographs, and have called 3 times but there has been no response. I expect a refund as I consider this a scam. We have since replaced all the **** or 'grass with standard kikuyu sheets which turned out to be a much faster and cheaper option, and it looks great. Beware of these seed bags, they are ****s.

The worst service ever received
<p>we paid Ginger Green a small fortune to come and sow seeds after the promise of an amazingly green lush lawn. The seeds germinated and the grass started growing but in patches. They blamed us for not watering enough (but they how did the other seeds germinate????) and said they would come back to lay fertilizer etc. I am still waiting for them!!! The service is absolutely shocking - it seems once the miney is in their ban account thats all they care about. </p> <p>PLEASE don't waste your time or money !1</p>

Don't waste your money!
<p>Bought a few bags as they claimed on their website how easy and wonderful the grass is, but please don't be fooled! They are extremely expensive seeds and most of the bag contains mulch and the seeds are actually less than 10% of the contents in the bag. We spread the seeds in sun, semi-shade and shade areas to test where it will grow the best, and following the instructions exactly and watering three times a day, after two months the results are extremely disappointing. You are going to have to spend a lot of money on top of buying the seeds on lawn dressing and water with little to no results. The grass is very flimsy and does not spread at all like they claim and as soon as you stop watering for a few days all the grass will die.</p> <p>Very disappointed, rather buy off the shelve products that are much cheaper and offer much better results.</p>

Ginger Green Amazing Lawn in Days
<p>I recently bought a bag of Gine Green Sedd for R350. I planted it in a shady garden with loads of traffic. 3 weeks later the grass was growing. Now 3 months later it is lush and so very green. It is an amazing product. Can highly recommend it all</p>

Ginger Green - total waste of money
<p>I purchased several bags of ginger green for some shaded areas of my garden (along edges of garden beds) ... I was quite liberal with the spreading of the seeds (using more seeds per sqm than suggested) ... although the bags are much larger than the competition I noticed that they mostly contain empty husks with a small % of actual seeds ... so you actually need double what they say you require . After a couple of weeks the seeds started germinating and growing fairly well ... I have a sprinkler system so followed the 3 x a day watering instructions and feeding/soil aeration instructions very strictly. The grass came out in individual needle type shoots (ie not tuffs). Initially they did fairly well in my opinion considering the areas were shaded/semi shaded - from a distance (due to the higher than normal height they need to be mowed at) they appeared thick but up close you can see the fine individual shoots and the soil between each shoot... I assumed they would spread and grow together (like claimed) but after 6 months of constant attention to the ginger green they never did. They also need to be cut much longer than regular grass (at least 3cm higher than my kikuyu) which looks ridiculous. If you cut them at a similiar height to the kikuyu, the ginger green takes huge strain and starts dying. Nonetheless, after 6 months, I assumed that the ginger green should be well established so I stopped "nurtering" it and paying so much attention to it... but 2 months later (ie 8 months after sowing) they are virtually all dead - something I am not overly upset about as it looked totally ridiculous with the kikuyu and ginger green at different heights and I was tired of having to put in so much effort just to make grass grow. The CLAIMS by the suppliers are hugely MISLEADING and bordering on BLATANT lies. This product does NOT spread at all and they make it sound like it grows so easily (under any conditions) which is total rubbish... it needs constant watering/feeding/soil aeration etc. None of which is mentioned upfront. Only once you physically get the product are you made aware of a long list of things that need to be done (in the leaflet included) to ensure that it grows successfully. </p> <p>Ultimately, it is a very fine, non spreading grass that needs to be grown long and watered constantly to have any chance of success </p> <p>Btw I tried a small packet of Starke Ayres Shady mix (in a separate area) 3 months ago and at this stage it seems a far superior product ... as it was only a small packet I basically sowed the seeds and have paid no attention to this grass and so far it is growing really well. I intend to oversow the ginger green areas in spring. I would recommend rather using this product for shaded areas</p>

year long happiness
Exactly a year ago I planted 5 bags of Ginger Green in my back garden, the seeds germinated quickly and soon became a beautiful green lawn. With regular watering and fertilising I still have a green lawn that I am proud of. My children love the lawn that fells thick and full.
