[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6989642, member: 348"] The cheaper mix that [USER=473]@Derrick Hughes[/USER] was telling us about a month ago had a lower seed rate than a lot, and was a mix of mostly older/less fashionable varieties. IF plant breeding is making the progress their marketing men claim, the yield advantages of new varieties will more than make up any difference in seed price. Most companies will do cheaper mixes alongside their flashy ones. Germinal, for example, do one catalogue of super duper Aber High Sugar Grass mixes, with all the latest varieties included, but also a Seedmark catalogue, with cheaper mixes made up mostly of the varieties that were ‘the next big thing’ two years ago. Of course, they will all die the same if the seedlings are droughted out, or spend a winter under water.:( [/QUOTE]
