I have a bag full of grass seed 1 or 2 years old that I was storing in

It maybe good...but..?

I would take some seed and put it in a bucket. Add water and if most of
the seed floats, then it's no good.
Hth... good luck.



Not.

How so...?
Thats what was said at the masters class last year. The theory behind
behind this (as told to me) is that with age the germ inside dries out and
thus replaced with air. Hence when placed in water it will float. I've
tried this on my own and found this observation to be true.

Please, if I'm incorrect, feel free to enlighten me with the correct
information. "Just cuz" will not suffice.........
