Default Expired Grass Seed Any Good? ( Rich )

Hi Rich,


Thanks for your response. Yeah there is probably nothing wrong with it,
the hardware store probably just made some kind of "sweetheart deal"
with a "Scotts" representative to only carry "Scotts" brand stuff, and
so they have to discontinue and get rid of all the other brands.
"Scotts" probably hooked them up to get the "Scotts" products at a good
buying price, so that they can turn around and sell it for a great
PROFIT price.


I have heard that "Scotts" is running scared, because they now have
serious competition from the company called "Pennington" grass seed and
fertilizer, which Home Depot and Lowes is now starting to carry more and
more of.
