Amazon grass seed perfect for 'patch repair and overseeding' hailed by gardeners
Scotland's weather has been hit and miss so far this summer but when the sun is shining the garden is where we want to be. With the hopes of more record-breaking sunshine this month, gardeners will want to make sure everything is looking as good as it can be outdoors.
Dry spells of weather can wreak havoc on the lawn, with sparse and yellow grass the downside to the sunshine. But Amazon shoppers say that a 'super speedy' grass seed can sort that out in jig time.
Planting grass seed in July is recommended as the warmer temperatures will encourage it to germinate for a thicker and greener lawn, reports the Express. And those looking for a quick fix might want to try Pronto Seed Food Super Speedy Grass Seed which promises swift results
Some impressed gardeners have said they saw visible regrowth in as little as just seven days. Priced at £14.49 for a 1.4kg box, it's also available on next day delivery for Amazon Prime members.
The rapid-growth grass seed is ideal for quick lawn repairs or new turf. The premium blend grows into a dense, hard-wearing lawn that stands up to foot traffic, pets and unpredictable weather.
Specially formulated for British gardens, this seed can be sown from March through to October. It is also shade-tolerant and performs well even in low-nutrient conditions.
The 1.4kg pack of Pronto seeds can cover up to 84m² when used for overseeding or 42m² when creating a new lawn from prepared soil. The seed is suitable for use in various weather conditions and can function in both shaded and sunlit locations.
It can also sustain a certain amount of foot traffic, meaning gardens can still be used after the seed has been sown. Designed for rapid germination, it claims to be able to provide coverage in just two weeks.
Amazon also has the Miracle-Gro Patch Magic Grass Seed, Feed and Coir. It's £22.69 for a 1.5kg bag with reviews saying it is 'very effective' but also noting it's higher cost.
And if you have pets who have taken their toll on your lawn, you can try the Dog Patch Grass Seed from Avern, now reduced to £12.49 for a 1kg bag. It claims to repel dog pee and will help your grass to grow green again.
Elsewhere, B&Q is selling a 5kg bag of GardenersDream heavy duty grass seed for £32.49. Representing value for money, the product is suitable for lawns and play areas.

Freak storms lash Spanish tourist resorts with roads becoming raging rivers and HAIL turning streets white as Brits hide from lightning in Benidorm
A series of freak storms have struck popular Spanish tourist hotspots turning roads into powerful rivers while hail has lashed down and turned streets white. Dramatic footage shows dirty water gushing down streets and into houses in Murcia, southeastern Spain, while enormous grey clouds tower over the province. The Murcia region has been badly hit and in the city of Caravaca de la Cruz, a major pilgrimage site, golf-sized hail balls smashed down on cars. Up to 20 residents from the city were evacuated and spent the night in a municipal sports pavilion, according to local reports. The hail turned into enormous mounds of ice before quickly melting with rapids forming. Mucky fast-flowing water streamed through the region, filling some homes and businesses, leaving the roads barren. Cafes and restaurants were left empty with people taking shelter. Calasparra and Casas Navarro are also among the most affected areas. As was the town of Moratalla, where car windows were smashed. Meanwhile, British tourists in Benidorm have been forced to take shelter as enormous thunder storms lash down on the Alicante region. Idyllic beaches and bars lay vacant as aggresive thunder and lightning hit the province. Video clips circulating on social media show popular holiday spots looking abandonded as tourists remain indoors in a bid look to escape the extreme conditions. Alicante was placed on high alert on Thursday night by state weather agency Aemet. While Murcia is remaining braced for further torrential downpours and thunderstorms until Friday afternoon. The dramatic downpours following a prolonged heatwave in the region, while temperatures have now plummeted to 10C below normal. Parts of Valencia, Barcelona, Girona and Tarragona have also been placed under an amber weather warning for rain and storms this week. The flooding comes less than two weeks after ferocious storms lashed Spain, with 'two swept away' by flash floods. Videos shared on social media showed waterspouts forming along the coast by Cubelles, Catalonia earlier this month. Others appeared near Valencia and Tarragona. Storms ultimately forced a flight from Barcelona to the U.S. to turn around moments after takeoff, as a violent hailstorm damaged the nose of the plane. But as Catalonia grappled with the 'DANA' cold drop, Spain's arid south saw temperatures push towards 40C, with a forest fire breaking out near a popular tourist hotspot. The forest fire broke out in Mijas, sweeping through Mijas Golf, an area popular with tourists, according to the Spanish Eye. The south of Spain has been lashed by fires since the first major heatwaves in June. More than 21,000 hectares of land have burned so far this year. The national weather agency, AEMET, said last month that it was the country's hottest June on record.

Dad spots massive tornado in sky above Yorkshire but isn't afraid for one reason
A dad says he wasn't afraid of dying when he saw a massive 'tornado' in the sky - thanks to the 1996 film Twister. Dramatic footage shows the moment the possibly tornado was spotted forming above a village in the British countryside. Bradleigh Hancock, 47, captured video of the weather phenomenon as it appeared along the A62 near Marsden, West Yorkshire, on Monday. He had been driving towards the village near Huddersfield with wife Claire and his 17-year-old daughter when she looked towards the sky and asked: 'Is that a tornado?' The shocked dad pulled over and started filming the swirling vortex of clouds as it stretched down from the sky. The plasterer said he was unfazed by the tornado and joked he "knew what to do" having watched the 1996 film Twister. Bradleigh, who has lived in Marsden for 20 years, said: 'It lasted for about two minutes and then the bottom came up and it disappeared. I thought I was still filming but I wasn't, I hadn't pressed record so I didn't get it going up in to the air. "I didn't even think about getting in the car and driving off. If it's your time, it's your time. I've seen Twister, I know what you've got to do. I haven't seen Twister 2 yet though.' According to the Met Office, the video could indeed be of a tornado, or it could be a funnel cloud. A spokesperson for the Met Office said: 'It certainly looks like it could be a tornado but without seeing it touch the ground it isn't possible to confirm it isn't a funnel cloud. It is only a tornado if it touches the ground." The Met Office say funnel clouds are cone-shaped clouds which extend from the base of a cloud without touching the surface. They form when a rotating column of wind draws in cloud droplets to make a region of intense low pressure visible. The weather agency says the UK sees around 30 to 35 tornadoes each year, but it's rare they're strong enough to cause significant damage. In a post on X, the Met Office said: 'We've seen a few videos like this over recent you think of tornadoes, you might imagine the massive twisters tearing through the central US. But did you know that the UK has one of the highest numbers of tornadoes per land area in the world?'
