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.
Can you give a link to a mix you suggest? Always open to options!

Just reseeded the lawn a week ago and then the cold freeze hot the northeast for a couple of days.

Should probably pick up another bag. Hoping the seed I played down didn't show from the freeze.

It's best to go to your local garden center or nursery and tell them about your yard and soil. They will custom blend it for you. But fescues are the best for lawns and are heat and drought tolerant and cold tolerant

I'm in NJ and in the same boat. Not sure if I should lay down more seed at this point either

This looks like a good stock up price if one uses this stuff but does it store over long periods of time well?
Be sure to keep it dry. It should last until the next season.

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
Same results.

FYI, I have 1/3 acre and use about 12lbs to overseed each spring. Have found 2 7lb bags is perfect once factoring in extra spot seeding in troublesome areas.

Bought 2 weeks ago at almost 2x the cost.

I'm in Houston and I think narrowed down to Bermuda or Centipede grass? Thank you.
Seems the last homeowner of my house found a SlickDeal on a Crabgrass, Dandelion, Plantain, Onion Grass Mix.

Agreed. At least for northern states get some tall fescue and for every 5lbs mix in a 1-2lbs kentucky bluegrass.

I replanted a large area of my lawn late last summer. I ended up using this for part and store brand seed from Ace for the rest. Because of the coating on Scotts seed, the weight is misleading and coverage is significantly less than regular seed. Factor in the cost difference, and when Scott's isn't on sale, it's about 4x-5x the cost. I will suggest to you the store brand seed looks the same or better.

Up to three years.
Per Scott's own site:
If stored in a cool, dry place, grass seed can last for 2-3 years. However, the germination rate (the number of seeds that will grow) will decrease over time, so you may not get the same results you would if you were using fresh seed. For best results, use fresh product and try to plant it within a year.
So depends on the date of the bag Amazon sends.
I have used a seed bag two years old with good results before.
I plan on placing the unused grass in a HD 5lb bucket(s) with a gasket seal lid.

Seed companies are adding a lot of "inert material" to their bags of seed. This bag has over 50% inert material. IOW..... No seed. Compare this to other seed bags that have almost 100% seed. Know what you are buying. If you look at the two attachments you can compare a Jonathan Grass Seed label with a Scotts Grass Seed label
