Default RE: Anyone used Alfa Rack?

I used Alfa Rack for the first time last spring with mixed results, most likely my fault. I rushed to process. I did not kill off all the existing cover. I did plow it under, disced, limed, fertalized and the weather was perfect. It started out great but soon the grass choked it out. I did not spray but should have. I mowed half of the plot in Aug. It looked dead from being too dry but as soon as the fall rain came it took off and the deer used it every night. They are still coming to it with snow on the ground.
The other half of the plot did poor. It did not get mowed and the grasses took over. I think I can save it. I plan to spray Poast or Poast plus or Advantage as soon as the grass get 4"-6" tall. Then fertalize after the grasses are dead. I can see the plants deep down under the grass so I hope it will all come back. I will work each dead spot by hand and re-seed those spots this fall. I have learned much just by trying this plot and hope to add more plots as I get better.
