Interesting. Says can't ship the 7lb quantity to my address (Seattle), although I bought exact same from Amazon 18 months ago just fine. It *will* ship the other weights to me, however, for some reason. Oh well.

The 40lb bag is still cheaper on a per-lb basis, but that's more than I need.

fyi, the 7lb bag is $33 at HD.

Thanks for posting, still!

This may be a stupid question but will any soil do for the base or must you use a specificity top soil?
As long as you have top soil it will grow, clay mixed bases don't really do well. Overall this seed is just okay, I prefer local seed blends. It's more expensive but the perennial yields are greater.

How long does grass seed last in the bag before use? Ideas of shelf life?
Just reseeded last fall by using same seed I got from 3 years ago, growing very strong with no issues. Keep them dry you will be okay

Southern gold mix, if your sticking to Scott's. This is mainly for the transition zone aka Mason Dixon line. Idk, where you live to give a better idea but it's good through Georgia.

I'm in Houston and I think narrowed down to Bermuda or Centipede grass? Thank you.

Is that the bag for $30 at Home Depot. Or $20. I forget the weight and don't see it on their site.

Costco has the 15 pound bag for $46.

I grabbed 10 of these instead of two 40 pound bags to ensure freshness year to year.

Monsoon rains. I get to enjoy mowing twice a week during the season. I love a dead lawn.

If I remember correctly, i grabbed a similar deal this time last year. The seed was close to "expiration", so it is probably cleaning out last year's stock. It sprouted fine when I used it in the fall.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

This is a terrible mix and a huge waste of money. Rye grass mixes are only popular because they germinate quickly. They also die quickly. You want a mix that is primarily tall and fine fescues. Don't buy this garbage. You'll be redoing your lawn in a couple of months.
