Grass Seed Query Re Germination & Quality
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can let me know if there are any great degrees in the germination rate of various off the shelf grass seed types. I ask as I have recently attempted to improve my moderate looking lawn. In the shady areas I sowed "Wolf Grass Seed for Shady & Normal" areas and in the other patchy areas of the lawn I sowed some B&Q grass seed without any Rye Grass in the mixture. After watering I then covered the areas with clear plastic sheeting & left for a week. The Wolf seed in the more shady area has started to germinate & I have blades of grass about one to two inches long. In the area where I sowed the B&Q seed there is no germination at all. Am I expecting the B&Q seed to germinate too quickly or is it just duff seed. Lastly, if I need to further sow seed can anyone recommend a good supplier of reasonable value and quality seed as I have quite a large area to sort out. Regards |

Martin,
Thanks for the recommendation, unfortunately I am in Surrey so it would be a bit far to travel for that one.

In that case look for a local garden centre with a large variety of grass seed on sale.
