Drilling puts seed at a consistent ¼–½" depth and uses less of it. Broadcasting is fine on smaller or rougher ground — bump the rate and harrow or pack afterward for seed-to-soil contact.

  1. Kill the competition Spray out or till existing vegetation. Weeds and old sod take the moisture your seedlings need.
  2. Firm the seedbed Work the ground, then pack it. A boot print should sink no more than ¼".
  3. Seed shallow Drill at 18–22 lbs/acre, ¼–½" deep. Broadcast at 25–30 lbs/acre and harrow lightly.
  4. Time it for moisture Dormant seed in late fall, or go as soon as ground is workable in spring.
  5. Rest it the first year Let the stand root down before cutting or grazing. Clip weeds high if needed.
  6. Graze or cut from year two Leave 3–4" of stubble and rotate stock so the stand can recover.

FAQs

Drilled at 18–22 lbs/acre, one bag covers roughly 1.1–1.4 acres. Broadcast at 25–30 lbs/acre, about 0.8–1 acres. Use the calculator above the Add to cart button to size your order.

Late fall (dormant seeding, after soil temps drop below 40°F) or early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Both let the seed use stored winter moisture.
