Your Grass Seed Bag is Lying to You

If you’re like me, you’ve made the mistake of thinking that everything in a bag of grass seed is in fact grass seed. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. A bag of grass seed doesn’t just contain the grass so beautifully displayed on its label but also a lot of undesirable material, including weed seed, crop seed, filler, and fertilizer. Just as important as what’s in the bag is how long it’s been sitting on the shelf. If that bag of seed has been hanging around for more than 12 months, then barely half of it will germinate.
