Product description of the manufacturer
Greenato Berlin Tiergarten lawn seed is a versatile and easy-care lawn seed mixture that is suitable for almost all areas of application – whether ornamental lawns, play lawns, shady areas or dry soils. A particularly positive feature is the rapid germination, which starts after about a week in good conditions. The mixture is designed for up to 200 m² and can be spread evenly thanks to its fine grain size, which makes it easy to use. The mixture can also be used universally, making it ideal for hobby gardeners looking for an uncomplicated solution for areas subject to varying degrees of stress.
Onthe negative side, the germination rate can fluctuate in unfavourable weather conditions. In addition, there is no resealable bag, which makes storage somewhat cumbersome in the event of partial consumption. In individual cases, weeds also appeared, although this can also depend on the location. Overall, however, the product impresses with its versatility and very good price-performance ratio.

The Greenato Berlin Tiergarten lawn seed impresses from the first glance at the seed itself with its uniform, clean grain and natural appearance. The seeds appear dry, fine and free of visible impurities, which indicates a careful mixture and good processing. The high quality is also evident when spreading – the seed can be spread evenly and does not stick together. The germination behaviour is particularly noteworthy: Under normal conditions, the first green shimmer appears after just a few days, which speaks in favour of a very good germination capacity. The mixture germinates evenly and leaves hardly any gaps. Although no information is given on certified varieties, the seed leaves a neat, high-quality overall impression that is suitable for both hobby gardeners and more demanding areas.
