    Is this grass seed for a standard lawn @mariastanton or do you mean one of the wildflower types?  :)

    Hi it's grass seed imbedded into a biodegradable mat for a standard lawn it's only for part of the lawn

    Ah - thanks @mariastanton . It's not something I have experience of unfortunately. I tend to just use grass seed directly on any patches which need a bit of help.

    I'll tag @rossdriscoll13, who has professional experience when it comes to grass, and hopefully he might be able to advise on whether they're worthwhile or not :)

    Maybe useful on sloping area where loose seed might get washed down the slope before it germinated?
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    @mariastanton grass seed mats are an american idea that I haven’t used.  I would always prefer to use grass seed.  With the correct prep of the area, sowing of seed (correct amount for the area of lawn) and watering you will have a nice lawn.
