I have a newly trying to establish hay field, that has been taken over by chickweed. I cut the hay off of the field last fall, which was fair quality, after cutting the last cutting last year I broad casted fescue seed. I just went to check on the field for the first time this spring and found that 90% of the field is chickweed. There is some grass that I can see that just hasn't broke through the chickweed yet. What do I need so that I can get hay off the field the rest of the year. Could I just wait and let the chickweed die out naturally, do I need to go ahead and bush hog it to give the grass a chance, or would spreading be cost effective this late.
