Grass seed 101: If the grass is ass, don’t buy it.

If you walk into your local box store to buy grass seed, you’re likely going to see brands with massive marketing budgets and strong retail partnerships prominently displayed. Scotts, Pennington, and Vigoro are a few of the larger players you are likely familiar with. Most DIY homeowners walk into the store, grab what they are most familiar with, and walk out without reading any of the labels.

Seed is not cheap these days due to a number of inflationary pressures in recent years. Next time you step into the store to buy seed, I strongly encourage you to look at the label and understand what you are buying before you make a purchase.
