RE: removing dead grass and weeds from the plots??

Forgot to mention Jeff,my plots were never worked either,as a matter of fact it' s old strippings.You will be surprised,the seed only needs small divits to go into then with some luck rain does the rest.It worked for me.

Did You use a drag after you sowed your seed? Pike

Nope,didn' t drag Jeff just disced and then spread seed with a $12 hand crank.Most of these mixes the seeds are so small they have no problem getting in the soil and sprouting.You should be able to disc the area on Saturday easily.
Hey you work with the equiptment you have right.It worked for me.

Let me know how you make out on the lease,and good-luck Monday!
By the way,did you notice the Pa hunting boards are down again?
