Planters Guide

BROADCASTING SEED

  • Disk or rototill soil 4 inches deep to loosen soil and kill all existing weeds.
  • Apply seed with a fertilizer spreader, commercial air fertilizer truck or by hand.
  • Disk, harrow, or aerate 1 to 2 inches deep at a speed to cover the seed with soil 1/4 to 1/2 inches deep.
  • Then pack the soil with a cultipacker or roller to get seed in good contact with the soil.
  • IF THE SEED IS TO BE PLANTED ON A SLOPE, WE RECOMMEND AN APPLICATION OF HYDROMULCH TO CONTROL EROSION.
