Default Where to buy retail quantity of quality grass seed for overseeding.

I have a reasonable quality lawn with no ryegrass in it. I want to buy about
a kilo of seed, with a high proportion of browntop, for overseeding. The
only suppliers I have been able to find that specify and sell this sort of
seed do so for golf clubs and the like and in quantities from 10 kilos
upwards. Most retail stores either don't specify the make up of the seed or
if they do, it includes ryrgrass.

Any ideas please?


I feel quite sure that the DIY sheds like B&Q _always_ have the seed
blend specified on the packet: the named brands certainly will -- it's
sometimes listed on an adhesive label, though. And last time I was
looking at grass seed (a few years back, I admit), both B&Q and Focus
definitely had at least one mixture described explicitly as "without
ryegrass".
