Grass Seeding Techniques and Problems
Not enough water, buried too deep, pigeons, compaction, weedy turf, too cold, too dry are just a few of the problems facing you when planting grass seed or laying turf.
How Long Will Grass Seed Keep For?
In general, grass seed will keep for up to 5 years if fresh to begin with. The biggest influence on germination is how well it is stored, not the age.
