Seed Mats

Feb 10, 2005 1 Replies

I'm thinking about taking the lazy gardeners approach this year and I'm wondering what ya'll think about the pre seeded mats? Are they really as easy as rolling out the mat, putting a little dirt on top and watering? How long does it usually take for them to produce flowers?



Any opinions? Angie in the boonies of East Texas


They do work, and fast, but then you suffer the consequences for years to come. I thought a few wildflowers would be great until they started taking over my beds. I'd only use the "mats" in areas where I was trying to encourage a meadow-like environment.
