Silly question... what is the difference between this grass seed and Dense shade seed? TIA

I bought both because I have a heavily shaded back yard. Back along the back fence it gets no light in the spring and summer. I only put dense shade seed along the back fence and shady nooks everywhere else. Prepped soil as recommended and kept wet for 2 weeks. The shady nooks and the dense both germinated, but the dense was alot slower. Yard is green and thick but the dense is still filling in. I added some miricle grow lawn food to it this weekend. I think the trees are robbing the food Im thinking about feeding it with jonathan green green up this weekend. time will tell.

This is one of many Dense Shade Seed mixes. I find this mix to be reliable and good for my area (northern VA). Some dense shade seed mixes have not done well for me.

I believe that Oklahoma is to hot for this grass seed. During the hottest points of the season you can see where tube sun is always cooking the grass. The grass does very well in the cooler climate. Putting this seed down in October works best for me.

Much like using a slightly different shade of paint on a wall that meets at the corner of another color is "OK" because it looks invisible on account of the shade patterns, grass can be the same way. There's no way to tell what your soil composition and weather patterns will make a grass look like until it comes up. I know that if you are not getting 4 hours of sun per day, you have to use a shade resistant seed or you'll not have healthy grass and roots. It's trade off. I say, use the grass seed if you are not getting 4 hours of sun per day.

I have two trees, one is located in partial shade another in full sun. The tree located in full sun is growing much faster. The tree located in partial sun is also a few months older. Both have been water at the same time.

One has alfalfa, the other does not. I'm sensitive to alfalfa, my wife is not - so we have two different products. Both good, BTW

i really wish i never bought this.....mold every time....very small grass compared to soil....i suppose you could grow in this in soil but small trays nheight restrictions made me just grow in 20x10 black cheep trays from any nursery.....i growin soil w much less mold....easier to water since not having to dump water ....grass is way healthier due to increased nutrient upload from the soil....water just cant compare to soil for grass cuz theres no nutrients....i grew side by side to soil with this system to compare....soil grown grass was greener, thicker taller less mold by far......now not sure about sprouts as i grow my sprouts out of round sprout trays cuz they hold a tiny bit of water so they dont dry out....i dontsee the tribest as a good sprouter either.....i wish i returned this system in time and saved the $100.....cuz the black trays are way better.....i grow w the advice given on www.wheatgrassgreenhouse.com hope that helps

My problem with bentgrass comes, not from aeration, but from the wind depositing the seeds. You need to be after the stuff all the time and it spreads so quickly if not addressed. Theoretically, aeration could provide more advantageous sites for the seeds to fall and germinate, but it is also critical to your lawn's success. I would stay with the aeration, just go after the bent grass on a normal basis.

It is organic. I just don't know about shade grown. It is a very good product.

I really don't know about the 'mixes', but I believe there are options for buying a specific seed if that's what you wish. You could try contacting Sprout House directly. All I know is that I've never had a failure with their materials. The seeds produced in abundance. I love it, and want to get some specific seeds to start early for planting.

I'm not sure what the white bag says but, flax seed comes in a golden color and it comes in a dark brown color. For my baking purposes, I prefer the golden. There may be a difference in taste and nutrition, but I haven't done any research on it.

The pound thing is sort of hard per say as different seeds will weigh differently. I would look at the dimensions and then look at the size of a 5 pound or less bag of grass seed as an example

No way, this is just a mix of fescue grasses, it already died in the very sunny part of our yard and it has only reached the 90s a couple of times with a good amount of rain and watering. Nothing special about this, just an expensive marketing campaign. Stick to bermuda or st augustine in your area.

Fast Grow will survive in partly shady areas. Look for a Jonathan Green with more of a "Tall Fescue" mixture. You can also read the labels. They tell you quite a bit. The "Fast Grow" actually is mostly "Ryegrass" mixtures, which I like for quick germination. I mix that with a sun and shade mixture which is good. In essence use the Fast Grow for quick germination combined with a small percentage of a shady or sun and shade mixture. That is only a suggestion based on what I do. Good luck.

Sorry, I don't know that answer for sure. We buy seed in big bags so we only mix a bucket-full (cat litter size) of seed at once. We have not had any problems with rotting seed - in several days or even over a week or more - so far doing it that way. Hope this helps and good luck with those nasty squirrels..............

Technically yes; however, I would recommend using a hand spreader with the correct recommendations for the type of grass seed you are applying. Some seed types recommend mixing with a ratio of sand into the hand spreader along side the seed as well...ie.. 5:1.

no, it will look lighter than the other grass. that may be because its new grass.
