Grass seed that regrows your lawn 'within a week' is less than £15

The Pronto Seed has gathered rave reviews on Amazon thanks to its ability to transform grass in a matter of days
If you're looking at your grass and it's patchy you might want to think about reseeding it. And if you think that is a lengthy process which will take a long time to show any effect, that's not the case. Gardeners are delighted with the results from a product sold on Amazon which they say is giving results in just days.
Pronto Seed, which comes in a 1.4kg box, has impressed customers who have bought it. And it's become a best-seller on the site, possibly down to the 21.8K reviews and the 4.2 star rating. Pronto's Speedy Seed appears to do exactly what it says on the box and give rapid regrowth so your lawn can be lush and green for summertime.

Speedy Seed is £14.49 and the box will cover 84m² meaning one box will go a long way. And it promises to transform your lawn, giving you lush coverage within seven to 14 days.

With one pack 84m² of grass can be rejuvenated when overseeding or gardeners can establish 42m² of new grass. It's also engineered for our unpredictable UK climate.
Pronto Seed also withstands heavy foot traffic, harsh weather and shady or sunny spots, making it the ideal choice for this time of year when the weather remains changeable, reports the Mirror.
And it's also durable enough to withstand energetic pets and children, ensuring that once your lawn is back in shape, it won't disappear again after one afternoon in the garden.
Applying it is also an easy process. Gardeners need to rake up as much of the dead grass as possible and then sprinkle the seed over the exposed soil. This should be followed by raking in the seed and then watering.

You should start to see results within a week.
There are other options for fast-acting grass seed on the market. Wickers offers this Gro-Sure Fast Acting Lawn Seed for £17.50. Amazon also sell Miracle-Gro's Evergreen Fast Grass Lawn Seed for £10.39 as a cheaper option.

But the Pronto Seed seems to be working for plenty of householders who have rushed to Amazon to give their results.
One satisfied customer raved: "I used this Pronto Seed to overseed some patchy areas in my garden, and the results were impressive.
"Within a week, I noticed new grass sprouting, and by two weeks, the lawn looked much fuller and healthier. The 1.4 kg bag covered a substantial area, making it great value for money.
"The grass is thick, vibrant, and seems to handle foot traffic well. It's also resilient in both sunny and shaded spots. Overall, a reliable choice for anyone looking to rejuvenate their lawn quickly."
Another buyer said: "I recently purchased Pronto Seed Grass Seed to rejuvenate my lawn, and I am thrilled with the results!

"After carefully preparing my garden and ensuring the right conditions for growth, I can confidently say that this product has exceeded my expectations in delivering a lush, green lawn."
They go on to add: "One of the most impressive aspects of Pronto Seed Grass Seed is its fast germination. Within a week of sowing, I noticed tiny green sprouts emerging from the soil.
"The seeds sprouted quickly and evenly, filling in patches and creating a uniform carpet of grass that looks fantastic. By the third week, the grass had grown significantly and started to thicken, giving my lawn a full and healthy appearance."

And they concluded: "Overall, Pronto Seed Grass Seed is an outstanding product for anyone looking to achieve a lush, green lawn. With fast germination, dense growth, and vibrant colour, this seed mix can transform your outdoor space into a beautiful and inviting area. Just be sure to provide the right conditions, and you'll be rewarded with a lawn that's the envy of the neighbours."
A third shopper chimes in: "Had to write a review as this grass seed is amazing! Started growing after only one week! Since then have been drenching with water each night and more and more grass appearing! Fantastic results!"
Some weren't quite as impressed: "The results were just okay, nothing special and I didn't notice to grow faster then the normal grass seeds," lamented one. And another reckoned it wasn't as speedy as others claimed saying: "Week 3 now and some shoots are beginning to show, although by now they could be the previous grass regrowing, not the new 'speedy' grass."
You can pick up 1.4kg of Pronto seed on Amazon or from B&Q for £14.49.

Rude neighbour's daily garden habit leaves my house smelling bad all the time

Rude neighbour's daily garden habit leaves my house smelling bad all the time A homeowner has said they don't know what to do after their neighbour's 'gardening' habit made their house smell The homeowner says the smoke is making her home smell and harming her health (stock image) (Image: Getty) A homeowner has sought guidance after growing tired of their neighbour's 'foul-smelling' daily activities in their garden. Turning to Reddit, one user alleges their neighbour ignites a bonfire in their garden each day, with the odour drifting into their property and creating an unpleasant smell. ‌ On the well-known subreddit, r/neighborsfromhell, the Reddit user opened by saying: "I'm trying not to be a Karen, but I have asthma and severe migraines." The expression 'Karen' is often used in a cruel way to describe a middle-class woman who appears entitled or excessively demanding. ‌ They went on: "My neighbours have bonfires all the time and leave them smoldering all day then relight them throughout the day. The odour is so terrible, it penetrates my entire house and is making me sick." ‌ Looking for guidance from other users, the homeowner asked: "Will the fire department think I'm an annoying Karen for calling? I have nowhere else to go to avoid the smell. The odour is even affecting my cat's asthma.", reports the Mirror. They also said: "Should I call the fire department or just go to city council regarding this matter?" They explained the stench and the smoke have now reached a stage where "I can't sit outside or even inside my own home safely and healthily". They concluded: "This sucks". The homeowner claims the neighbours light the fire daily (stock image) (Image: Getty) Article continues below Numerous people flocked to the comments section to voice their opinions. One person commented: "Omg I feel for you. That sounds incredibly frustrating- Also an asthmatic. A fire of seasoned hardwood burning occasionally is fine for me, I can deal with it camping. But when people burn wet wood, garbage, leaves, ect my asthma flares up." Another said: "So sad on so many posts how people think they have to start by justifying they are not a Karen. This is plain common sense that burning bonfires creates air pollution." A third wrote: "If they are burning anything other than wood, there are probably ordinances against it. Call the FD and see what they say." Someone else recommended: "Check your state, county, and city regulations. Look for fire and air quality rules. The laws may contain hints of whether you should contact the fire department, pollution control, zoning, or health department." ‌ Constant bonfires can cause issues for neighbours and pollute the air (stock image) Can you burn rubbish in your back garden in the UK? In the UK, burning domestic or garden rubbish is typically not allowed if it creates a pollution risk or endangers public health. Whilst no explicit legislation entirely prohibits garden bonfires, you could face consequences if your bonfire becomes a nuisance to neighbours or causes contamination. According to the Environmental Protection Act 1990, burning domestic waste is usually banned if it may cause pollution or health damage. If your bonfire produces excessive smoke, soot, or smells that significantly interfere with your neighbours' enjoyment of their property, it could be deemed a statutory nuisance. Article continues below This could result in an abatement notice and a fine. It's strongly discouraged to burn materials such as plastic, rubber, painted wood, or anything containing chemicals, as this could lead to legal repercussions. This is seen as an offence under the Highways Act 1980 and could result in a fine. If you choose to have a bonfire, ensure it's only for dry garden waste (like leaves, twigs, and grass cuttings). Small, controlled fires that burn quickly are less likely to cause disturbance. Avoid having bonfires on damp days, during low wind conditions, or when neighbours might be using their gardens. Never use petrol, oil, or other flammable liquids to start or fuel the fire. Seek advice from your local council regarding waste disposal and any specific guidelines about bonfires in your area. Composting and recycling are often more effective solutions for garden waste. If your neighbour's bonfire is causing problems, try to have a friendly chat with them to resolve the issue. If this doesn't work, contact your local council.

'Neighbours do the same horrific thing every Friday and now I can't use garden'

EXCLUSIVE: An outspoken mum has had a pop at her neighbours and claimed their 'selfish' act every Friday evening is stopping her from enjoying being in her own garden Despite once being dubbed 'Britain's most hated woman', Carla Bellucci believes her neighbours are the true villains, claiming they are 'ruining' her summer weekends. Carla, 44, who lives in Hertfordshire, said residents next door do the same act every Friday night and it stops her going outside. She explained to the Mirror: 'They burn wood every weekend starting from a Friday night always. So our summer evenings having vino in the garden is a no go. 'It stinks and I have no idea why they do it. I think they are farmers, our houses back on to a field, and I honestly think they think they own the farmer's field.' The mum-of-four, who has caused her neighbours to complain before by sunbathing naked, joked: 'Maybe they burn wood for their fire but it's summer so I have no idea but it is probably to p*** me off and ruin my summer vino nights chilling to music.' Carla, who once faked depression to blag a nose job on the NHS, said she and other members of her family suffer from asthma. The "horrific" smoke, she claims, impacting her breathing if she sits out in the garden. She added: 'I have never experienced something like this, they have even built a wood burning shed thing, it's insane.' Carla claimed she sent her daughter over recently to ask them to stop, given she was in the garden while her youngest child was in her paddling pool. However, according to Carla, no solution was found, and she believes it is something she just has to live with. As for whether her neighbours have any personal animosity towards her, the mum said: 'They gossip to people about me and they hate the headlines so I'm not their dream neighbour. But to be fair, I'm kind of calm, I don't involve them in my life. Yes, I throw parties a few times a year, but doesn't everyone?' The former glamour model, who lives with her husband Giovanni Pincay, also claimed people in the area are 'obsessed' with her. When she was filming for Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, she believes her neighbours "purposely" started cutting their hedges just to get a peak. After her latest rant, Carla concluded: 'I think people are just rude and I don't know why everyone can't get along. I know it's a free world but come on, to burn wood… 'There is more to life than fixing a bloody house 24/7. I do not understand the British mentality with houses, it's their life, but memories last for a lifetime, a house is only bricks and water.'

Boeing bursts into flames on take-off as passengers send 'final texts'

Boeing bursts into flames on take-off as passengers send 'final texts' A Boeing 757-300 operated by Condor Airlines was forced to make an emergency landing in Italy after its right engine caught fire shortly after taking off from Corfu in Greece Visuals from the scene show the plane's wing engulfed in fire while in the air (Image: X) Shocked holidaymakers have recounted the terrifying moment a jet engine burst into flames just moments after take off. It comes as memory of the fatal Air India- Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash is still painfully fresh in many minds. ‌ Approximately 300 passengers aboard a Condor Airlines Boeing 757-300 were left horrified on Saturday night when the aircraft's right engine began spewing massive flames and smoke shortly after departing Corfu in Greece, with video footage showing a spluttering blaze visible from the ground. ‌ Travellers on the flight from Greece have since disclosed how they started sending 'final messages' to their loved ones as smoke billowed past their windows, believing they were about to plummet. ‌ Flight tracking data reveals the aircraft performing a dramatic U-turn before executing an emergency landing in Brindisi, Italy. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here Those aboard endured further ordeal upon touchdown when they learnt there was insufficient hotel capacity near the airport, forcing some to sleep on the terminal floor, reports the Mirror. Describing her ordeal, one passenger told German newspaper Bild: "I sent goodbye messages thinking it was over. It was a horrible experience. Article continues below "Suddenly, we heard a loud noise, then flames shot out of the engine. It was very scary." Another recounted hearing a "loud clicking noise". The blaze is thought to have resulted from a bird strike. Condor Airlines, which operated the service, has stated that passengers faced no danger during the incident. ‌ The German airline Condor has refuted claims of an engine explosion, attributing the fire to a "disturbance in air flow" that made a normal combustion chamber reaction more visible. A spokesperson for Condor told the Mirror: "Flight DE3665 from Corfu (CFU) to Dusseldorf (DUS) diverted to Brindisi (BDS) on 16 August 2025. "The reason was a parameter indication outside the normal range caused by a disturbance in the air flow supply to the engine. Due to the fault message, it was precautionarily decided to divert to Brindisi. ‌ "This posed no danger to the guests or crew members at any time. The aircraft landed around 8:15 p.m. at Brindisi Airport, and all 273 guests as well as the eight crew members disembarked the aircraft normally. Another Condor aircraft was dispatched to carry all guests to Dusseldorf on August 17th, 2025. "Unfortunately, there was insufficient hotel capacity in Brindisi, meaning that not all guests could be accommodated in hotels. Additional vouchers and blankets were organised at the airport, and a few shops were allowed to remain open to provide supplies. Passengers who took advantage of alternative accommodation options can submit their expenses for reimbursement. "We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but the safety of our passengers and employees is always our top priority." Article continues below
