I helped a friend yesterday aerate & seed his yard. Long story short I told him to pick up this fescue blend that was on sale this month for a heck of a price. Scored 50# for $105 & all Mountain View varieties.
It's better to have 0% weed seed. Here is what I got for ~$110 include tax. Not sure if NC is typically more expensive, but these TTTF blends I got from pre-covid year was like $80+tax and more expensive if it has KBG in it.
Chesapeake Valley Seed's Vitality Double Coverage has been my go-to for a couple of years now. Varieties constantly change, but a pretty good mix this year with 0% weeds and 0% other crop.

Nice blend, I agree on the 0% weeds. The Triple Threat blend I typically recommend around here went from $81 last year to $130 this year. The Top Choice was a local pickup vs a 45 minute drive to get the Triple Threat. His yard is already infested with crabgrass and other weeds. I am going to recommend to him to at least let me spray prodiamine next spring to get a handle on the weeds.

Man, i went into my local nursery that was selling Top Choice a month ago, 50# was $135. Came back 5 weeks later, they were selling the same bag for $240!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said NOPE.
Bought this at a local lawn equipment store. Couldn't find much info on the KY-41 or the JT-783. Have been using a local seed company, but bought this on a recommendation. Anyone know anything about these two cultivars?

Looks like a good blend. The KY-41 is actually on the recommended list from NC State University so it must be decent and not like KY-31. JT-783 is interchanged with Flame in the No Net from Jacklin Seed.

Is seed typically cheaper in the spring? I'm looking to do a spring overseed (yeah I know), and wondering if I should buy now or later.
That New Millenia blend is calling my name.
