Planting

[catocom]

I just planed some old grass seeds I needed to get out before they ruined. (don't ask )

Do you think it's too early?

 

[Leslie]

Hopefully not for you. For me, yeah. There`s still snow out there

Never too early to feed the birds.

How do grass seeds get ruined?

 

[tonksy]

They die.

Cat? I think you'll be fine....what kind of grass?

 

[catocom]

regular old Kentucky tall fescue.

Yeah Nixy, they just get too dry or something after a while, and these may already be too old.
I don't know yet.
Sometimes mold can kill them.

 

[Leslie]

Logically, it should even be ok if it freezes as seed and then thaws.

Shouldn`t it? Isn`t that what happens to not mass harvested and bagged up grass seed when it`s just left alone?

 

[tonksy]

Fescue should be fine, it's past pre-emergence for grass anyway - Go for it!

As long as the seeds are kept dry they will be OK, although the older they get the less of a chance they will have to germinate....

 

[catocom]

Go for it!

Already did. I guess we'll see.

Yeah, the were in the old potting shed, and the rat, cats, and kids had the bag
in pieces, and scattered a little.
Been that way for I don't know how long...maybe 8 months to a year.
The 10-10-10 sitting beside it was about half solid. It took me a while to
break/crumble it back up.
