Seed worked really well for us. I'm no green thumb I just threw it on the ground (literally while I had a little helper,) and watered it for a few days. We walked on it after about a week as well as drove on it, we had a massive downpour that I thought would ruin everything but it didn't take long to start coming up and now after 2 months I can't tell what is new and what is not. This was a box from Bunnings but couldn't tell you what brand!
