How to seed grass in large area?

[Jimmy Joe]

I love your dark soil, you left the rocks out of the picture. A brillion seeder would work great, I didn't have one when I did mine I broadcast seeded at half the rate then lightly dragged with a chain link fence behind the four wheeler then seeded the other half and rolled. I got lucky and didn't have to mulch the rain came just right.

How have you gotten to this point? York rake? Looks good:thumbsup:

I'll be planting 3 acres next week. Debating to use a Vari-slice or not on applying the seed. I also plan on spreading straw as well.

My process to was to use the box blade to move material towards the existing grass and slight slope towards the trees. Then I use the box blade and rough level the material. Finally I used a 16' railway crossing timber with two eyebolts screwed in it. I dragged the timber on a slight angle to finish level. It was heavy enough to carry & fill low spots but not too heavy to dig in and catch too much material.

All done now except to water the heck out of it.

I tilled about 1" deep and then broadcast 100 lbs of seed. An 8' piece of chain link fencing with a 2x4 on the front dragged across to rake the seed in. I then used a small roller that covered the space between the wheels of my lawn tractor and I drove around packing it down. Looks good.

I need to water it in today. It's going to take a lot of water. Rain showers in the forecast this weekend. I hope we get some.

As soon as it sprouts, an inch of water per day won't be too much as long as it's draining well - it appears as if drainage will not be a problem.
