I wonder whether the reviews that recommend this product are genuine or whether they bought the same product as I did. My experience with Munns Emerald Kikuyu Lawn Seed Mix is similar to the most adverse reviews here and their help contact emails were also completely useless.

Typical of the stuff bunnings sells. Pure junk. The weed grass invades everything in winter and its seeds profusely. Now I have to buy expensive herbicide to get rid of it

What a ripoff! $49.95 one kg, WHY?? We didn't buy it. Have bought another brand - $11.45 1kg - which we have used a few times before, is shade, frost and heat tolerant and as far as we can see, does exactly the same job. We can't the point eh

Have purchased kikuyu seed in the past but was unable to buy from my local supplier so I tried Bunnings and found this product. Kikuyu seed is very expensive, (at $67/ kg) at local rural supplier so when I saw this at $20/400g I thought, ok cheaper and “100% Pure Kikuyu seed” which would tend to mean there is only Kikuyu seed in the box.... smaller print then says “Mixed with natural wetting agent”.... hmmmm ok ... not sure why you need this when you water it constantly till it germinates. So I open the box and was so annoyed that it was a box wetting agent with a little seed thrown it. I’d estimate that the seed would be 15 -25% of the box. I will be returning this to the store. What a con!! Would rather pay $67 and get 100% seed!

The worst seed that I have ever planted.
I thought that paying top dollar for this product that it would work even though I have watered it my whole lawn is dead.
Would not recommend this product to anyone.
Paying 70.00 per bag plus fertiliser was hoping for a great lawn I am so disappointed because now that it is summer I have a brown and dead lawn which has costed me in seed fertiliser and lots of water.

Really impressed with how fast we had beautiful grass!! After the first week we had grass already sprouting week two we were shocked to see the grass beautifully growing and minimal patches week three now and i have had to carefully trim the tips down as it was surprisingly long i have watered early morning and late at night and all I can say is WOW! Very impressed with this amazing product. It was well worth the cost and in 2-3 weeks we can mow it and use their recommended fertiliser. If you follow the steps and water it well you won't be dissapointed.

Great new lawn product. Sown in late August (Sydney) and result was lush within 6-weeks. We now have 250 m2 of thick green healthy lawn! Followed the packet direction (i.e. applied the seed in combination with Munns "Starter Mix" and watered everyday). Thanks Munns, great product! Highly recommended as an alternative to rolls of turf and MUCH cheaper.

I found for $20 you only got a few hand fulls of seed, only enough to do about 3 meters then you got to keep it wet that means watering it 3 or 4 times a day in hot weather and you have do that even after it comes up for weeks all it dies. Better off buying real rolls of grass.

All I wanted was a fescue lawn, then my kids got a dog. I cannot believe how versatile and tough this emerald kikuyu is, colour is outstanding. Kikuyu haters all say it will invade. This is about on par with couch and has not been a problem for me. Munns have also been very helpful over the phone, great company.

Claims all big as they know that people will not complain as this is so subjective.
Never buy anything from them..

I tried few of their products and just got disappointed after waiting for long.

Cannot believe this ripper company is from SA, when I tried to call them they were trying to make it hard by asking me to email them.

Is there a way to take them legally?

I had two bare dusty patches in my front yard, not knowing what to do I threw down some of this seed only 1 week ago & it's already sprouted. Nothing special done with the soil first, just a rake and watering everyday. I have very boisterous kelpies so have temp fenced off with garden stakes and chicken wire. It's looking promising so far so fingers crossed in the months to come there is perfect lawn that is dog friendly. Recommend this to anyone!
