Application methods and rates:
This mix can be broadcast or drilled. If the broadcast method is used, scarify or “break-up” the soil surface to ensure a good seed bed. This can be done with something as simple as a hard tooth rake. Any method will work as long as the surface crust is broken. Seed can be broadcast by hand. A small fertilizer spreader also works well.
If a drill is used, plant NO DEEPER THAN .25″. Germination failure will likely occur if seeds are sown deeper than .25″.
Chances of a successful establishment can be increased if the site is rolled or “packed” after the seed is sown, but it is not required.
Broadcast method: 20 pounds per acre
Drill method: 15 pounds per acre
