[QUOTE="callmefence, post: 1773509, member: 24947"] Sure that's a reasonable statement. So your saying a drill doesn't work in "fescue country" idk . Broadcast works ok here as long as sufficient rainfall is present. Drilling places the seed in place at a preset depth. This gives better soil to seed contact, insurance against the surface drying out. These things increase germination and seedling survival. Drilling also places the seed more uniform than slinging it out with a atv. These things combined allow for a much lower seeding rate of expensive seed. I'm all about expediance. But easy is not always best. Sometimes it is say 40.00 ryegrass but the op is talking 200.00 clover. That's a difference to be considered. It does seem high for clover seed. Idk [/QUOTE]
