Second attempt at throw and mow yesterday on a couple of plots. In all fairness last year was a half hearted attempt to just hold the soil after I went in with the dozer and pushed these plots out. It was mixed results due to the lack of thatch, rain and fertilizer.

I mowed first a couple of weeks ago to knock down the native vegetation and form some thatch. Yesterday I spread 400 lbs of Elbon rye and ten lbs of Crimson clover in some shadier areas. Topped that with 500 lbs of 13-13-13. These two spots are a little over an acre each.

Hoping this rain knocks my seed down into the thatch and I get a decent stand. I haven't run a disk or drag over these spots so I am hoping for the best.

I may post some pics to show the
results later.
