When purchasing grass seed, consumers often have two options – coated seed or raw seed. Coated seed utilizes a clay-based coating that helps aid in moisture retention during the germination process. This coating also helps limit the chances of a bird eating the seed.
Raw seed, on the other hand, is precisely what you might think; grass seed that has not been coated and remains in its pure form. The coating can add weight to grass seed, increasing the price; however, it may not be needed if appropriately applied.
Some grass seed varieties, such as Bermuda, naturally have an outer casing called a hull. An unhulled seed has this casing left on to provide extra protection; however, it may lengthen the required time for germination. Hulled seeds have this casing removed to speed up germination times.
Unhulled seeds are often used in environments that are not optimal due to poor soil or a lack of irrigation. Their hulled counterparts are much more accommodating as long as they are adequately watered and the soil has plenty of nutrients to feed them.
While many other seeds like sunflower seeds or walnuts will go rancid due to their fat content, this isn’t a problem typically experienced with grass seeds. Although, storing grass seed for extended periods may make it harder to germinate. Holman Seed Farm recommends purchasing seed the season it is needed; however, extra seed can be stored in a cool, dry location for roughly one year.
