Welcome, one and all!

Welcome to a site for my musings and meanderings about the gardening work I do, which currently consists of trying to renovate my Dad's garden after years of neglect..

Patch Magic by MiracleGro

Yes, my second product review!



Okay, my product for today is Patch Magic, made by MiracleGro.

I've been putting it on our garden to cover the patches which became evident when I raked the grass to remove the moss which had been building up over the years. Some patches were small, some were large - all needed filling in. So one of the products I tried was the above-pictured Patch Magic, manufactured by MiracleGro. How did it work?

Well, the first, quite large patch, came up in about a week. The second set of patches also started showing in a week or so - a few of them, in the shade, didn't do so well, but still showed grass coming up in places. I've had to water it pretty much every day, but that's because we're having hot, sunny weather - when we had some cloud around,. I could leave it an extra day.

The grass looks green and healthy, and the coir which makes up the bedding material certainly holds water well. I may need some more to fill in thin areas, and redo the edges of some of the patches, but all in all, it's worked well.

So my rating for Patch Magic? I'll give it

3.5/5


I've yet to try it down the bottom of the garden, where it's in constant shade. If it does well there, I'll up the rating. Still, it's pretty good stuff - I'm happy with it.
