Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to reseed grassland? What would the breakdown be?

did it two years ago, all done by contractor, with the exception of the stone picking, which must be worse than the worst possible job you can think of!

He sprayed, ploughed, harrowed, limed, set, rolled and fertilised for €100 per acre.

Cost me ~200 / acre last year.

About 100 for the contractor costs - spray, plough, harrow, reseed, roll. I dont have a breakdown on what each one was...
100 for the seed & fertiliser, which I think it was 100kg 18-6-12 / acre

But I know diesel & fertiliser are gone up this year, so will be more...
