In my case it makes more sense to get a contractor in. I forgot about the gran lime and I not going to get time to go back to it for two weeks. Time is always the thing

Reggie. wrote: » squinn2912 wrote: » Appreciate the answers might be on this thread already but did some reseeding last week. Got it rolled last weekend. Silage man advised me to roll it again when the grass is up a bit in a few weeks. What’s people’s opinions on that? I wouldn't roll it till it's up a few months. Roll to early after it emerges and you'll kill the seed or at best stunt it

wrangler wrote: » Yea was thinking it wasn't slurry.it looks a great job, what sort of harrow have you got, you probably should apply granlime because decaying vegetation affects PH and in turn germination
cathal irwin wrote: » Hello Reggie it didn’t get any slurry. I cut bales off it yesterday. I gave it two runs of the tine harrow today. I spread seed with the wag tail only and I had around a nice bit of seed left over so I mixed with 10.10.20 and went over it again. I then went back over it with the tine harrow and gave it a roll. The photo I took was when I was half way through the field on first run of the tine harrow. What are your thought Reggie your my mentor here.

Reggie. wrote: » No i really dont think it'll work. The cover looks too heavy to overseed. You've spread N with slurry. The old grass will leap out of the ground and will choke out the new seedlings before they get a chance to germinate properly. If you were doing it that way I would have ran the harrow again after the seed to make sure it gets down to the soil. Now hopefully I'm wrong but that's from what I can see from the photo.
