Let me make sure I understand, throw seed and fert out and the bush hog. Is it really that simple?


Cereal rye would be your best option but if you don't want to use that then go with one of the blends of wheat, oats, rye, clover.....try to time it with a rain event if possible. Results in the first year will depend on your soil conditions and how much thatch you have to cover your seed. You're correct that most folks will have better stands as their soil improves. Good luck. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to post them up. Take some pics as well. We all love some pics. thumbup
