CNC.... I'm going to throw and mow this season and have a good thatch for covering the seeds. I have one spot that was created by loggers this summer that is about a 1/3 of an acre of dirt. It was there log landing I got the bark and rocks off but have nothing to for thatch. I thought of running the drag over it to soften the top a little and going with small seed-clover,rape,greens and maybe rye. Would hauling a couple of rotten round bales and spreading over it be worth the effort or just see what happens.
