How much are you looking to overseed? And what sites have you checked prices? Unitedseeds.com has the besf prices ive found, shipping costs a little more than some places but the seed is great, they have a few different blends.

 

+1 for UnitedSeeds

 

Shipping can add quite a bit to price. Seedsuperstore (https://www.seedsuperstore.com/) is offering "Free Shipping" at this time. Might want to give them a look.

SSS has offered free shipping for the past 3 years, maybe always.

 

Look for a local sod company. I'm getting my KBG Elite seed at $5/lb

If price is a concern for the OP, SSS is one of if not the last place to look at.

They have good stuff, but extremely pricey.

OP, you should try to find some local sod farms or companies, they usually have alot cheaper stuff and pretty decent too.

 

+1 for the local sod/seed companies. ill add that you should consider researching a few varieties that you may want to buy, and asking specifically for it at those local companies. i have done that a few times w/ midnight and mazama kbg, and even though they didnt stock it, they bulk ordered some and i purchased it from them for about $4/lb. compared to $10+ from places like preferred seed or SSS

 

This is excellent info... we have a few sod farms near by too... maybe they have something for sale. We have a farm and home store that carries, Milo, Scotts,, Pennington stuff, and I also seen some nylon/burlap sacks of seed the last time I was in there. I was a little skeptical buying that, but maybe worth looking into.

I looked at SSS, but I dont believe UnitedSeeds... I will browse there.

Also, I need to overseed about 8,000 sq ft. My lawn is 10,000, but there is one area that is extremely thick PRG, and not too sure I have to overseed that section quite yet.

 

What about Barenbrug seed? Local store sells it for $3/lb. It is bluegrasses, fine fescue and rygrasses.

Let me know your thoughts.

I overseeded KBG last fall. Great results!

 

I like United, as well. Ordered there a couple of times last year. But man.. I pay $38 for shipping on a $75 bag of seed. Crazy.

barenbrug makes quality seed too. some of their varieties are more on the lighter green side though

FYI - thick PRG will out compete any KBG seed you overseed in that thick area.

 

@jha4aamu I noticed that is some of the pictures I seen online. My KBG up front it decently dark, a few light spots but dark for most part.

I may just overseed with straight PRG this fall. See how that comes in next year. Just need to find a dark PRG.

Also, I have a section(very small) that is shaded about half the day. Not dense shade; some light shines through leaves, but what's a good seed to drop there? Should I do a TTTF? Is that good for half sun half shade or will a KBG do fine there?

Thanks.
