The Basics of Sowing
Since grass seems to grow just about anywhere from roadsides to parks, many people think that getting grass to grow in your own yard should be just as easy. In reality, it actually takes a bit of work. Here’s some basic information.
Perennial vs Annual Grass
Before you buy a bag of seed, learn how your choice affects how often you need to reseed. If you get annual seed, which is great for erosion control, you’ll have to sow each year. On the other hand, perennial seed comes back season after season. It’s for those who want lawns that keep growing year after year without having to start from scratch.
Drought Tolerance
Climate makes drought tolerance especially important when choosing grass seed. If you buy varieties with low drought tolerance, make sure you live somewhere cool and shady with plenty of rainfall. Medium-drought-tolerance grasses are better for places that are regularly watered and receive some sunlight throughout the day.
High-drought-tolerance varieties are suited to warmer, drier conditions with less predictable rainfall, as in Arizona.
Timing
When should you plant your grass seed? That depends on the type of grass. Warm-season varieties generally do well in hot weather, so late spring can be a good time. In contrast, cool-season grass prefers milder temperatures; plant it in late summer or early fall.
Mulching
Freshly planted grass seed is vulnerable. Birds can snack on it, and strong winds can scatter it before it takes root. A layer of mulch can cover and protect newly sown seed while keeping moisture in the soil. Organic options like straw will naturally break down as the grass grows.
Grass Seed in Shoppers Supply Stores
Shoppers Supply is for everyone who enjoys building, working, raising, and growing. We’ve been open since 1966! From being a single outlet in a small town of Spencer, Iowa, we now have multiple family-owned and operated Shoppers Supply farm stores across the valley. When it comes to grass seed, we have plenty of selections.
For New Lawns and Repair Jobs
We have grass seed for establishing new grass and overseeding an existing lawn. If you are covering a larger area, buy in bulk and use a seed and fertilizer spreader to distribute everything more evenly. At Shoppers Supply tool stores, we have the equipment and products you need to get your yard project moving.
What if you only have a handful of bare spots caused by drought, extreme heat, weeds, or insect pests? Simply spread the seed by hand.
For Large, Bare Areas
Refresh large sections where the grass has completely disappeared using a grass seed mixture or seed blankets. The latter is made from biodegradable material containing grass seed, fertilizer, and mulch. Roll it out, water it, and wait for it to grow!
Seed blankets are also particularly helpful on sloped areas, where regular grass can be washed away by rain.
For Areas With Mixed Sun Exposure
Does your yard have a section that gets sunshine for most of the day, while another sits beneath a tree or beside the house? A seed blend designed for sun and shade can achieve a more consistent appearance throughout the property.
Remember, some varieties tolerate shade, and others don’t. Instead of watching one type of grass thrive while another struggles, mix to handle varying light conditions.
For High-Traffic Areas
If you love having kids, pets, family, and friends play and gather in your yard, get varieties that withstand constant wear and tear. After all, your lawn is meant to be enjoyed. You should not have to worry about every footprint destroying it.
Do you have animals frolicking in the grass? You might want to visit Shoppers Supply feed stores, too. We’re here to make our two-legged and four-legged customers happy.
