When it comes to grass seeds people usually have a lot of questions. Some of the frequently asked questions for grass seeds are: where can I get grass seeds? What are the best times to plant them? How will I know the kinds of seeds to buy? How to plant them? and how much they usually cost.

Where Can I Buy Grass Seeds

Since there are a lot of frequently asked questions for grass seeds, I will tackle them one by one so that it will be easy for you follow. The first one that I will talk about is where can I get grass seeds?

• Well grass seeds are available from a number of places. One of these places is Amazon.com. It offers these seeds at affordable prices. If you want a three pound bag then you can be prepared to pay about $20.00.
• The bag size sometimes determines the amount of money you will pay  
• Different seed types cost different amounts, meaning you will pay a different amount of money for a Scotts Kentucky Bluegrass Grass Seed and a Amturf Seed (even though they are both three pound bags)
• Other sites that sell this item are: BuyHardwareSupplies.com, TheGreatHardwareStore.com, Acehardwaresuperstore.com and Lowe’s among others.

Which Are the Best Times to Plant Grass Seeds? 

The next one that I will talk about is: Which are the best times to plant them?  

You can actually plant your grass in the fall which is September. This is mostly because of the weather (the days are warm, nights are cool and the mornings are dewy). If you don’t want to plant them in the falls then you can do it in spring. But if you want your seeds to germinate in spring then you can consider planting in November. For your grass to grow perfectly it has to be grown in a temperature of sixty five degrees and above.  

You can also choose to plant your grass according to the weather in your state. This simply means that there are certain grass types that you can plant during certain weather conditions. For example you can grow the tall fescue when the weather is cool and the buffalo or zoysia grass when it is warm. If you go to The-lawn-advisor.com you will find a chart that might guide you. This place also has some frequently asked questions for grass seeds. 

How Regularly Should I Water My New Lawn

This is among the frequently asked questions for grass seeds. For grass that has just been planted, you can water it every day at different time intervals. This is to make sure that the soil stays wet. The soil has to stay damp up until the seeds germinate. Once the grass has grown then you can skip a day or two before watering. But when you water make sure that the soil is really damp. You can reduce it to every two to three days in the summer. During spring, you can water your grass every three to five days.  

How Can I Plant Grass Seeds 

If instructions on the ways to plant grass seeds are not on the bag, then you can follow these easy steps.  

1.    Soak seeds in water for a few days (some seeds do not need soaking, so first check with the nursery that sold you the pack) 

2.    Put them on the ground once you have leveled and removed all rocks. 

3.    Cover the seeds with soil and then grass or hay (mulch). 

4.    Mulch protects your seeds from birds and other animals that may feed on them. 

5.    Once you have done all the above then water the entire area where you planted and make sure the place is damp. 

If you follow all the steps mentioned above then your seeds will germinate faster and you will have your lawn in about a month or so. Also remember that different seeds take different time intervals to germinate and grow. Just like I mentioned above, the weather may play a very vital part in the germination and growth of seeds.

Additional Information

 If you wish to prevent crabgrass from taking over your lawn then you can use pre-emergent herbicides. Crabgrass is weed that is yellowish green which grows as your grass grows. Tupersan is one of the herbicides that you can use. It stops the crabgrass from growing but does not in any way stop the grass seeds from germinating. You can spray this product in the affected area.
