I live close to kc, and have only found it at one nursery, suburban lawn and garden, so you might have to call some of your larger nurseries.

I was going to try our local True Value Hardware first. I thought I saw some there last year. Ours has a fairly large inventory, sells grass seed and has a lumber section, and many other departments. People used to use it when starting new grass seed in smaller areas, especially on slopes, not whole yards; see they are using different stuff now generally.

Where ever the local landscapers get their supplies. Here it is still sold in rolls as protection for newly planted slopes.

ok, will try
Thanks all

You might consider shopping on-line. What you pay for shipping would probably be less than the cost of gas going to get it.
Quite often you can find rolls of it quite reasonable on-line.
The best time to buy it is in the winter when it's being closed out.
I try to buy all my garden supplies for the next year at clearance sales in late fall or winter. You can save a bundle if you have a place to store it.

Home Depot website sells burlap in rolls that are 24 feet long.
