Do the dropped Nyjer seeds cause weeds when they drop into a garden bed below?

We haven't had an issue with weeds. Our feeder is not located in a garden. I think the finch and doves eat quite a bit of the seed that might fall on the ground.

does the bag have an expiration date so that I can be sure the seed is fresh?

There is an expiration date on the 8lbs bag...look below the bar code on the back of the bag... Jan 2019. However, I could not find a expiration date on the 20lbs bag... may have been on the paper pull strip opening that I discarded?

How do I keep the squirrels away?

I have not had any problems with squirrels eating this seed. I have 3 different feeders and squirrels NEVER approach them.

Why is the product titled thistle seed when the bag says nyjer seed?

Here's what I found. "Nyjer is a small, thin, black seed from the African yellow daisy (Guizotia abyssinica). Though it is not related to the thistle plant, Nyjer is often referred to casually as "thistle seed." High in oil, it is a nutritious source of energy for backyard birds and is one of the most popular types of birdseed."
