Guest tapiocaqueen Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 So I'm doing a science project for school about drought resistant grass but I can't buy grass seed that isn't 10 pounds and costs $50! All I want is a few grass seeds (maybe 30?) of 4 different varieties of grass. I've looked at my local gardening stores, but all they have are the big bulk grass bags and cat grass (including oat grass and wheat grass) , but that's my last resort because nobody actually uses cat grass on their lawn. Any ideas? Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalmia Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The independent feed store I live near sells some seeds in bulk bins including grass and clover. So you just scoop out what you want into a plastic bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displace Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Look at the floor under the bags of grass seed at the local hardware store. Usually a bag has spilled some. Maybe I could mail you some?? 😀 Eta - I don't have four varieties though, and scooping seed off the floor probably isn't very "scienteriffic".

Miss Tick Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 We have an independent green house in town that sells grass seed bulk. Otherwise, canvas your neighbors. Mine can't be the only household with a random half bag of leftover grass seed from a small patch job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Feed store or co-op will let you buy only a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarynB Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Call up some local landscapers and lawn services. They might just give it to you for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I googled and there are quite a few seed websites that say they'll send you grass seed samples so you can see how it grows. You could try emailing a few of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegoat Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If you are on Facebook, post that you are looking for a few kinds of grass seed to grow and compare for a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but I can't seem to find any! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why but I can't seem to find any! :( I'm sorry, I didn't save them. I was trying to find a grass company that sold some kind of variety sample pack and noticed a few of them mentioned that they'd send out seed samples by request. Maybe if you try googling "grass seed variety sample pack" you'll come across the same websites I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I offered to pay they refused because they want to support educators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
