What's a good online source for buying bulk grass seeds?

[richardycc]

looking for tall fescue, like the 'mowless' blend that some company is selling, they are kinda expensive, like $120 + $30 for shipping. Are they worth it or should I just get some at home depot for $50 per 25lbs bag?

no bulk beef joke please

 

[Cattlegod]

is there such a thing as mowless grass?

 

[richardycc]

yes, read about it, here. its just basically a blend of 3 types of tall frecue seeds.

 

[Cattlegod]

is it just mow less or no mow? i'd love to have no mow grass.

Where do you live?

That's the important thing. I'd be very wary of a seed that says "mow less". Because a happy, healthly lawn is one that needs "mow more".

MA, zone 5.

alternator shaped package?

heh sorry, seriously, i'd be all about some "no mow" grass

How can you post a thread like this in the same format as the bulk beef thread and expect no jokes? Tsk tsk tsk... =P

Anyways, wow I'm interested in this mowless stuff too. I talked to my mom about this before when I saw some ad online but she didn't believe me. I'll have to read up on this in more detail...

you could invest in some mow less rocks or mow less dirt

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

It's mo' bettah mo' o less.

This is gonna be even bigger than that bulk beef thread, I just know it.

if you want no mow, just put down gravel and spray paint it

otherwise, get grass seed from a local nursery

50lbs? So like manifold sized?

 

[FoBoT]

grass seeds are not very dense, 50 pounds would be more like the whole engine block

Well, first of all, if theres grass on the field, play ball. This might be the problem. DO NOT PROVIDE FRESH GRASS! :shocked:

50lbs is NOT BULK!

Bulk as in packets?

While we're on the subject, when is the best time of the year to seed a lawn? My yard looks awful.

It says you don't really have to mow it at all if you don't feel like it.

It all depends on the grass. For instance the best time for bermuda grass is late spring early summer.
