Sounds like you got a good version of the product. Tiffany, I’m impressed that you were able to harvest seed heads off last year’s experiment — I’m glad it’s been working for you!

I would recommend these to any one who had the time to make sure that the mat did not dry out. I also picked the seed heads last year and sprinkled them else where, so we will see what happens i believe the asters are popping up in my silverlace vine pots now.

Jeanne, don't feel sheepish! I'm glad some folks are actually getting decent results with some of this stuff. I'm guessing, though, that you didn't buy yours from AsSeenOnTV.com or anything like that, did you? Kate, I hadn't even thought about the invasive species issue...yikes. Good thinking.

My big worry is that they might contain a fast-spreading invasive plant - one that would look pretty the first year, but would become a nuisance in future years. Interesting to read the feedback though. Since you posted on roll n grow a few months back, I have been curious to know if you would try them.

I had good success with it. The ones that got the most water early on, did better than the the ones that didn't get touched by the soaker hoses as well and depended on me to water regularly. The flowers were nice and lasted through September (I'm in zone 6.5) I bought some new rolls for this year. They fill in the spots where I haven't yet decided what to do with on a permanent basis. Just my two cents! I – she said sheepishly – actually bought this last year – it’s a rollout of some kind of degradeable fabric imbedded with flower seeds. I had good success with it.

Just my two cents!

A roll out lawn. Grass seed on a biodegradable backing of some sort. The mind boggles. The Lowes insert in the Sunday paper had something similar. A roll out lawn.
