what is the difference from winter wheat seed and wheat grass seed... can you plant it outside in the fall ?

Hard winter wheat seed (also called wheatberries) and wheat grass seed are the same seed, just harvested at the farm a different time of the year.

Also, wheatgrass seed is a generic term the specified names are more characteristically based. N9t sure if theres a difference in nutrituonal value. I.e. winter wheat or red spring berry hard & soft.

Unsure if the difference but I think neither may do well outside if you are in a climate that gets too hot/cold. My berries grew mold at the root indoors if kept too humid.

We planted it last year in Southern Maine, and to our surprise, now that the snow is melting in April after a fairly brutal winter, it's springing right back green and lush as ever. Highly recommend this miniclover seed & this brand, we've reordered three times with superb results.

I assume you are referring to the Northern Plains of which I have little knowledge of in terms of gardening. I would guess your growing season is rather short, but these seed should be fine when compared to any other type seed. I am in the mid Atlantic Zone and have not had any problems other than I think my season is too short for full size watermelons although I do have some nice small ones. I am using US weather zones from Harris Farmer's Almanac for reference as to zones (page 75 in the 2014 edition) Hope this helps

No, you do not *have* to plant wheat berries. You may do with them as you wish: sprout, cook, grind. And they make as much flour as they make--no more, no less. Best way to measure this is to throw a cupful into your grinder and then either weigh the resultant flour (grams or oz) and make note of this for future reference. Good luck!

Well I don't know anything about Kansas winters, it does well for Kentucky winters. It does allow enough light for starting seeds, its where we start all our seeds. The mesh is molded into the plastic and the plastic is fairly thick. As far as the air tightness and holding heat in the winter its not so good if the temps fall below freezing.

Planting instructions are like any othergrass seed. I think fall would be best followed by early spring. Grass grows best in cool weather. I spread straw over it and water it 3 times a week until it sprouts. I would gently rake the seed into the top 1/2inch of soil if this is a new project.

Your grass is for indoors AND outdoors! We do recommend some kind of covering on your grass if you leave it outside during inclement weather though!

I'd hold off for the season and put down a good winterizer in the fall, followed by a strong pre-emergent fertilizer/weed controller in the early spring. Like I said, I had zero success with this product.

Hi there, I haven't used the product in the winter time yet. So far, when it rains a lot , the product is pretty sturdy and the seeds don't get wet . I live in midtowm west Manhattan and have 2 beautiful cardinals come to this feeder after hanging it for about 1 week. If you decide to buy this product, just make sure you buy sun flower seeds that its size is not too large and able to be taken out from the metal sift.or u can use black oil sunflower seed .

I'm not sure what kind of seed grass are in the mix but I can tell you I was very happy with it. I live in Seattle. Planted the grass on clean, no special additive soil on the north side of my house in late September and within less than a week had grass growing.

I live in zone 7 and they are annuals. No change in the winter, still green. Full sun or shade is fine. Mine is in full sun. Follow the planting direction and you will be fine.

I'm not sure of your latitude, but mine is about 35 degrees North. To be fair, I probably didn't give the grass seed a fair test. My results were underwhelming. It would be very hard for me to justify further cost on the product. My best results come from using Pennington seed from Lowe's.

If you are growing this plant indoor, the winter zone should not be an issue. Just as a reference, I live in zone 7 and still have problem growing this plant indoor. My plant from 9GreenBox is relatively big but I still have problem growing it. The have multiple failures so it probably has nothing to do with 9GreenBox.

Whether or not you can plant it in the ground depends on where you live. If you happen to live somewhere that is fairly warm year round, the non-mountainous regions of California, Arizona, and the flat flood plain that is Florida, then yes, put it in the ground. Otherwise, like me, who lives in the mid-Atlantic region, I have it potted, it lives outside in the summer, but by the first frost I bring it in and keep it near a sunny window.I sincerely hope that this answer helps you because in answering your question I have broken my own oath that I would stop providing free expertise for the greedy overlords of Amazon.

Alfalfa seeds have various usages. From your question it appears that you are looking to sow it as a crop rather than sprout it, if so you can plant it in the spring or the fall depending on your climate. Typically where we have "winter" and frost goes into the ground one should simply plant in the spring. Yet if you live somewhere where there is little ground frost and a moist enough fall you can sow it in the fall. The main thing to be concerned about is that you have at least 8 weeks before any frost so that the plants get enough root developed to hardy over the winter. If planting a small area you can cover the are with straw to protect it over the winter. Hope This Helps! rcc Alfalfa seeds have various usages.

I usuallly seed in the fall, but did it in early April this year. The grass started to come up in about 14 days and looks great.

I do every spring and fall. Works great. My grass stays green almost all winter in California while my neighbors grass turns a dull green or brown.
