Why you should always buy the best quality lawn seed

We all love a bargain!  But when it comes to buying lawn seed it's best to stick with quality.

This recent advertising spread in a nationwide Sunday newspaper says it all.  Lots of promises but not a mention of even what type of lawn seed is in this box!

A cheaper box of lawn seed might seem like a great saving but there's no bargain to be had when you end up with a poor quality or dead lawn.

Look carefully at the label and more importantly the Seed Count.  This will tell you whether it's a Straight Seed variety or a blend of different seeds.

Look for packets that contain a high seed count of the variety you're looking for.   When you're shopping at a hardware store or supermarket, the seed mixtures can contain a lot of other 'filler' seed, which initially might grow well but will struggle longer term as the seasons change.  

At Great Aussie Lawns we recommend you use certified “named varieties” as opposed to cheaper inferior lawn seed that can be found in off the shelf boxes.  Using quality seed will provide you with the best outcome. Seeds with low purity and germination may be cheaper but will often cost you more money in the long run.
