[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 975059, member: 16453"] Andrew, I get all my seed from NFW at Cottonvale, they only open Mon, Wed, Fri. but have most seed varieties on hand. Also Richard at Fearnside keeps some seed but he will be closed over Xmas. At this time of year the subtropicals like Digit would be the best bet though it is a very timid seedling and will not get going with competition, it does increase over the years if you can get a bit going. Plantain is reliable to establish. Legumes are mostly cooler months but are used to fighting their way to surface and if hard seeded will lie there until conditions suit. The grass I have had most success with without doing a proper seed bed is Cocksfoot, it is temperate so not real good for now to germinate, good one to put out at Easter, it forms a fairly decent leafy clump after a couple of years and puts down fairly deep roots so is pretty drought tolerant. It gets going in early autumn and stays green all through winter and mine is still going OK now starting to slow down a bit. Last year being cool it went all through summer, I have used the Kara variety but couldn't get it early this year and used Ambassador and it is going very well still. Drop around and I can show you what has worked. What is the process of seed balling? Ken Ken [/QUOTE]
