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.


That'll be interesting to see how it turns out. It sure is easier to broadcast after everything has been mowed than trying to broadcast in amongst a jungle of vegetation. I think clover and such will definitely be fine.
