Q&As

1 - 10 of 45 Questions

Q: Will this grass seed mix work in Texas with 3 months of 100 degree days for 3 months in summer.?

16 days ago
1 Answer
  • A: This mix is a cool-season grass and is not considered a warm-weather variety, so it may struggle in long periods of 100°F summer heat in Texas. You may want to consider a warm-season grass type better suited to your climate.

Q: Is this good for horses

a month ago
1 Answer
  • A: No, this would not be a safe choice for a horse pasture. Turf Type Tall Fescue has higher levels of endophytes than Forage Type Tall Fescue. A safer option would be GroundWork Equine Forage Mix Grass Seed, North.

Q: Is this safe to plant for goats

5 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Shady North would be safe in moderation. The tall fescues in Shady North have higher levels of endophytes that may be harmful to goats if consumed in high amounts. Safer options would be Kentucky 32, All-Purpose Forage Grass Seed North, or Equine and Livestock Forage Overseeder Mix.

Crap.

a year ago
Planted under a red maple tree. It came up really fast but mostly died out after about 6 weeks because it was mostly annual ryegrass. Don't waste your money.

Do not recommend.

Spread seed, watered every other day, nothing.  Seeds not germinating. Do not recommend.

Just what I needed.

a year ago
Very pleased and suprised how fast this came up. It's been cool and rainy here and when sunny the area the seed was put down in only gets a few hours of sun.

Yes, I recommend this product.
