Peat Moss is a great substitute, and you won't have any weeds.

What's the thinking behind adding wheat straw on top of newly seeded
fescue
at this time of the year? I definitely intend to keep a close watch on
the
soil and make sure it's kept moist. In the past I've bought the straw
from
Lowe's / Home Depot and have always had weeds sprout (the seed is
supposedly
99.x% weed free). I live near Crossroads shopping area. Anyone know of
any
place to get "weed-free" wheat straw (does such a product even exist?)?
Thanks,
Russell
