Sod.


No.



okay. do it your way and realize sod was the most cost effective solution.

Even asking about "winter rye" in this God damn heat wave. You slow baw?


Sooooooo, you're saying that sodding 2 acres of property is the most cost effective way to get myself a lawn? And.....I'm the one that's "slow?" I could hydroseed my 2 acres for 1/5 the price of sod and I could seed my lawn for 1/4 the price of hydroseed. It's not magic hoss, it's math.

The question about winter rye was all about preventing erosion of my soil during the "WINTER" months if I couldn't get anything to germinate before the "WINTER."

Weird, eh?

It’s not about the initial price of the grass, it’s your time, effort, and money for the next year. Do you have a proper irrigation system set up for seed? How are you going to water the seed or sod? As said, seed will need to be watered up to 5-6 times a day the first couple of weeks. You have to keep the ground wet for it to germinate. If it doesn’t germinate, you just spent the time and money for nothing.

As said, you best bet is likely to sod a sizeable portion around your house then seed the rest.

Why centipede? Because it’s the cheapest? Is it open 2 acres or do you have trees? I’d do Zoysia or bermuda with 2 acres personally.
