Just as the title states, I know I can get it online but would rather just pick it up, anyone know anywhere that sells it? Called a few nurseries/home depot etc. no luck. Do not feel like driving 60 miles for 5$ worth of straw. Thanks, Mike 7167995907 ---

I just buy the new Scott’s grow anywhere seed, water it a few times, forget about it and it still grows. That’s what I plan to do when I have finish off the edges of my new driveway. ---

Ill have to try that Scott’s grow anywhere seed for my current landscaping projects. Waiting for grass to grow is annoying. ---

I had to seed part of my front lawn where I removed flower beds. No hay/straw used, it came in fine. Skip it. ---

Def don’t need the straw. Some peat moss wouldn’t hurt though. ---

I planted this 4 weeks ago. Some shitty no name seed “turf master” or something. It’s supposed to get darker. No hay used.

Hay is full of weeds. If you wants weeds use hay. ---

Straw has no weeds, but I’ve been planting grass by tilling the soil, putting fresh topsoil down and seed and have had 50/50 results, I will try tilling the soil again (large section of dirt on side of house) and putting down some scotts and regular seed with a little topsoil and see how it does. I think the birds around my neighborhood are eating all the fucking seed. ---

I spread a layer of good soil over the spot instead of tilling, drop the seed, then cover with handfuls of peat moss and keep moist.
