Grass Wars

My husband brought this to my attention the other day... there are serious grass seed wars going on right now. The main battlers appear to be Pennington and Scott. Now, living in a condo, we don't have to be concerned with grass seed but when I was growing up, my dad used to re-seed the lawn every spring. Nevertheless, I don't remember any angst happening when he was making the decision about which seed to use.

These days, however, we apparently need to be just as careful with our grass seed as we are with our nutrition. Pennington has made us aware that "the other guys" fill their bags with 10 pounds of grass seed and 10 pounds of filler!! And one of these guys explains that you'll have to water their seed more because it's so high quality.

Pennington calls theirs honest grass. Scott says theirs has no filler and is of the highest quality.



The war is getting bloody out there!!

Now, I just laughed at my husband when he told me about the grass wars the first time. I hadn't heard or seen anything about this phenomenon. This morning, however, I saw my first Pennington commercial. Then, while making breakfast I HEARD my first Pennington commercial.

The grass seed blitz has infiltrated our home!

I haven't decided which one I'm rooting for yet... guess I just need to see some more commercials to make that decision.




No, the below is not a link.... it just so happened when I finished posting the above I went to another website and when I glanced down at the bottom of the page I found this!! Scary!
