I say GREAT! Not pointless at all to fight the Kudzu.

Fescue would be the cheapest and as a cool season grass, would get the best start in the spring. Perhaps mix a little Winter Rye in as well (but it will die out come spring). But it might have a better chance this time of year and the fescue will come out more in the spring.

If you change your mind on what to do with the hill later, fescue is also easier to get rid of than the warm season grasses like bermuda.

We were very late getting grass seed planted this year. We are converting some beds to lawn. We didn't get the seed laid until the weekend before Thanksgiving. It is now nice length fescue. Ready for its first cut if it dries out a bit. I thought we were wasting the seed but thought the yard would look better with the straw over the grass seed than a big mud pit. Pleasantly surprised it all sprouted.

I can recommend the lesco brand seed from home depot. Cost less than the others and I like it a heck of a lot better as far as texture and color. It also beats the more known names for germination with a very big stick in my opinion and I have tied a few. The lesco sprouted quite well in the crud hard clay we seeded for erosion until we can get to it. It germinated outstanding in the area we worked the soil and seeded for HOA happiness.

We did use the lesco starter fertilizer - this is great stuff and a little goes a long way.

Germination for fescue (and other grasses) depends on soil temperature. So if you put it down now, it really just depends on soil temps as to how well it will germinate now.

No harm in trying, of course.
