I was wondering the methods others use to broadcast the seed. I purchased Fall Draw and Greens and Grains which I planted 7/23 on 2 acres. I 1.sprayed 2.disc 3.fertilized 4.disc 5.packed 6. planted 7. packed again, but left many bare spots doing so. I used a walk behind seeder. I found it very hard to adjust the seed rate because of the varying size of the seed. Does anyone have a trick or seeder that they would suggest?
By the way, the seed is growing great and already pulling bucks in!
My grandpa taught me to always set the seeding rate (especially in clovers and turnips) for a over the shoulder seeder to where you don't think the opening is big enough to let enough seed out. Or to a setting smaller than recommended. Then walk the plot lengthwise and then crossways until your seed is spread. I did this with my Mass Builder and Fall Draw and had great coverages upon germination.
