The Throw n’ Mow Method

[bigboreblr]

Saw Nixa seed wants $161 dollars shipped for a 50lb bag. might not be a bad deal. Got to see what I have for clover. Might be good for a year or two. Wanted to try SD's method with less aggressive clovers. I mixed ladino, berseem, and medium red together I believe. Think I got 20 or 30lbs or it. Up north I think i only did medium red and ladino.

I might value white dutch in my log landing remediation. When they start making golden rod, i can mow or knock it down and have existing clover growing for the fall. Might be a lazy way to get and extra year or two without any seeding or spraying. Temporary thing, not permanent.

Yeah these are 50%. Coating tag says plant at same rate as non-coated seed. I'm going to try some crimson this year for the first time also.

Crimson is not well foraged and is a very prolific seeder. ME trying it out was adding a soil builder that the deer aren't too interested in. I have sandy soil with low to medium fertility at my place. I can grow ok stuff, but need to put in fertilizer each year. Leaf litter / mulch/ decomposed wood washes down the hills and fills in pockets here n there. Some spots great, some not so. Anywhere dozer work was done is usually almost dead land. The toughest of weeds only grows in those spots. Thats one reason I like plantain up in some spots.

Mustang Seeds out of SD has uncoated 50# bags of crimson and medium red reasonably priced.

I don't know how a seed company can state that coated seed gets planted at the same rates as uncoated, doesn’t make sense to me.

Brian your absolutely correct. When they say you need 8 pounds per acre you really need to plant 18 pounds per acre. It's false advertising and I don't understand why they don't tell misinformed customers the truth. Any seed company want to correct me
