I put a little elbon i had left over out and plan to buy another bag to finish up with. But i need to spread something for this summer to really hold them. What yall got? Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

You could put a little ryegrass or something with it till it gets warmer, I like to cover fresh seeds with a little hay, especially on the berms and turnouts.

I worked in erosion control for 6yrs while in school doing hydoseeding and just seeding then blowing straw on top all around central Al. I have a little knowledge as to what to plant and that will provide temp and permanent grass. I cant help that it is costly to have permanent grass.

I planted 3 acres in Argentine Bahia a year ago and bought it for $109.99 per 50lbs. Just ordered seed to plant 2 more acres and the same seed ha gone to $187.99 a bag. By the way, if there is a place cheaper than Hancock Seed like posted above I haven't found it. My local feed store wanted $385/50lbs argentine Bahia. They have great prices even with shipping
