Hydro Mousse Liquid Lawn Kit with Spray n' Stay Technology (High Performance Grass Blend)

Wow. I don't know what they do in the informercials to make it look like it works but this is absolute garbage. Followed all instructions on the box to seed the appropriate amount. There was no seed in the box as stated, just the green liquid that is their formula that makes the grass seed stick. So I put my own grass seed in the container and measured it appropriately with the right amount of green liquid. I turn the dial before I turn it on since I read that it can stick. I double checked the website for instructions because there were no other paper instructions in the box and I couldn't find any other instructions online. Hook it up to the garden hose and had to use pliers to turn the dial because it was so stuck. I started off with the light seed setting and all I got was water, I know because my grass seed is blue seed so it's easy to see on the ground. After a couple minutes the seed starting coming out and the water was tinged blue. There was no blue foam like the commercial. The amount of seed/liquid I put in was supposed to seed 200sq ft. It all came out in about 25sqft. I shake the cannister a little because I figure there's seed stuck at the bottom. By this time the cannister is starting to leak where the hose is connected and at the plastic grip where it looks like a trigger but is just a handle. I try to turn the dial to "off" and the dial comes completely off and the whole thing splits in too. Absolute gargbage!

Item shipped quickly. No problems with that. Item is a total ripoff, however! It does not cover any area of the lawn, and it did nothing to help grow the lawn (at all)!!! I had even purchased two of these and used both. Neither worked. Stay away from this item. It does NOT work!

So here’s my experience. 1. I followed the directions to the T. I made very sure the ground was prepped correctly(tons of work). I made sure I put the “mousse” packet in correctly, I made sure I filled the sprayer 3/4 full and let it set. 2. It didn’t look at all like the commercial or video on the main website, it is not that thick, green or sticky. That’s why 3 stars instead of 4. 3. The green “mousse” did not cover the ground in an obvious way like the commercial and while spraying, often it would just turn clear. I ended up spraying the same places more than once because I was concerned the seeds were no longer coming out. From the bare patches I have, I was right. Once it was obvious the mousse was gone, I stopped spraying. When I opened the sprayer, there were still a large amount of seeds floating in the water. 4. I watered 2-3 times a day without fail. 5. It actually grew pretty good after the first 8 days. 6. The patch I did was about 12x14, I should have had plenty of coverage, but didn’t. A second bottle would have been the ticket, but I was basing the area on what the product said. 7. Over all, not bad. Not as amazing as the commercial, but not bad. I don’t believe for a second that what they sprayed on the board and then turned upside down in the commercial is the same product they deliver. 8. I will probably buy another bottle for a smaller patch I have. 9. Oh, I put a fence around the area for the entire time, so there was no traffic on it at all. 10. I did leave some existing grass in the area and it flourished, you can’t help but see it in the pics.

Not good at all. First of all don’t get any of that green mousse powder on your hands unless you like to be painted green. Same goes for any surface the green water hits. Used on low setting and the seed ran out under 2 minutes. Another annoying feature is that the water washes off the seed that was deployed right after it hits the dirt. I’m hoping to get maybe a small patch or two but definitely not the area it was supposed to cover. Save yourself the green mess and frustration and just do it by hand. To me the mousse didn’t bind it to the ground…. Just made things look green…..including my driveway, street and hands….

Love the product!

Waist of money....u can get a 50lbs bag of rye seed for $50 ....this has ¼ lbs of seed in it....the green n foam bs in it didn't activate right....left my lawn n hands green for an hr....this is some city boy bs!!!

This is not a good product! As usual with as-seen-on-tv garbage, overpriced and under-performing. But I believe in specifics when I review something so let’s get to it. I purchased this as a skeptic but, since I had soooooo much yard to regrow, I decided to give it a try. I figured if it worked, awesome! And, if it didn't I would waste $25 and then move on to more expensive or involved methods. Now, I followed the directions to the letter and within the week (I sprayed on Sunday and began to see results on Wednesday) there was, in-deed, grass growing on my formerly barren yard. However, this product is far from the miracle it espouses itself to be. Here are some specific thoughts... Calling this product a “Mousse” is just inaccurate. It doesn't create any kind of "stick anywhere gel". I have a mostly flat yard, so this was not an issue for me. But, the little slope I have in the corner saw a flow of blue/green liquid streaming down. The little vial of liquid featured in the commercial seems to now be a little pack of dry chemicals. Which would make it impossible to measure out for anything smaller than the full amount used at once. This little pack is also impossible to open without getting at least a little on your hands - and it stains. I followed the directions to wash it off and instead of dark-green my skin was light-green but it took about a week for all traces to go away. The container (probably the saving grace of this system) is actually really easy to use. I needed to use all of the included seed at once so I didn't try a measuring out a smaller amount. But, I did use the side to see that the seed and chemical were a consistent volume for what was claimed to be included with the product. The container sealed easily and the selector switch on top worked exactly as it should. The water mixed with the seed properly and turned the water blue telling me it was time to spray. I used the light seed setting in an effort to maximize yard coverage. The included seed is not a set it and forget it product. It requires watering multiple times a day - just like any other commercially available seed. So, for my second "what can I loose" try I went to the local big box hardware store and bought some of the cheapest off the shelf grass seed - a small bag of this... https://www.amazon.com/Pennington-Central-Contractors-Mix-20lb/dp/B00Q49J4N0 And filled the Hydro Mousse container with it. The seed had a blue-green coating on it and the exact same care instructions as the Hydro-Mousse seed. I sprayed the next quadrant of my yard with it and got almost the exact same result as using the Hydro-Mousse seeds and prep-solution. Same Blue-Green water from the sprayer. Same length of time when I started seeing results. Same green tint on the part of my hand that touched the seed. I also dropped some seed plain on the ground just to test a theory. The seed that was just sitting on top of the ground took 3 to 4 extra days to show results and that patch wasn't as thick. So here is my theory. The magic of the sprayer is that the light seed travels with a heavy water drop and gets slightly pushed into the soil with no extra effort from the user (no raking dirt back over the seed). In theory this makes application easier. Now, my results might have been better in the spring or fall rather than middle of the hottest summer on record, but my kid was away at camp which gave me an opportunity to try to grow grass without it being trampled on. I have been using the sprayer to seed a quadrant of my yard at a time and I am pleased with the results. It is possible that I would have gotten the same results just spreading the seed by hand or with a dry spreader, but I prefer to look at as I paid $20 for a water based sprayer and $5 for the seed.

Hydro mousse liquid lawn Crap!! Against my Wife's advice I paid $30 dollars for a jar of green Goo that did nothing. I followed the instructions on paper and on Jar and loosened soil using a hoe and the weather conditions were excellent in the low seventies daytime and low humidity to 50s at night and poured the mix in jar and filled it and read instructions again and then sprayed early evening the bare spots pictured. Watered lightly the next day morning and then around noon and evening. Nothing after 10 days but a few small seeds lying on top. No germination at all after watering for total of 20 days. My advice is buy a bag of Scott's sun and shade mix in the 2.4 pound bag for less than this junk cost and covers almost 1000 sq feet and with easier work. Just loosen soil spread seed cover with light soil or get small bag Pete Moss and cover and it will fill in nicely and at least you get a guarantee with Scott's. We all have these Brain Freeze moments and this was mine. Looking at complaints Amazon should really dump this product.
