I have a bag of grass seed that is several years old and I wanted to overseed my lawn this fall. Will the results be limited because the seeds are about 3 years old?

An exact answer I can’t give, but I can tell you last fall I found an opened bag of grass seed from when we first moved into our house 5 yrs ago. I took them and threw them on some bare spots (only dirt showing) in the backyard…my dad and boyfriend (who does landscaping) said that will never grow you should have just tossed them out! I didn’t water or prep the ground at all…just fertilized as usual in the spring…and guess what I have beautiful grass where I threw the seeds lol!

So my opinion is throw them down since you already purchased the bag and if it doesn’t work you only lost the time it takes to overseed.

Good Luck!
