If you do this year after year will it eventually cause the bermuda to weaken and/or thin out?

For overseeding coastal, I went with about 10 lbs per acre which is probably a bit heavy considering clover seed was also broadcast. It all worked fine.

10 lbs? I use 30-40 lbs. to get a good stand of grazing.
Plus I usually put 5 lbs. of clover down along with it.
MrBilly said:I've been drilling Passeral Plus by Pennington. They recommend drilling 20-25 lb/A, but last year I put in 45lb/ (for hay only) and baled 176 rounds on 17 A. This year I planted 35 lb/A. Time will tell what the yield will be. If you braodcast the stuff, you need more according to Pennington = 30-35 lb/A.

Did the 176 bales come from one cutting? What size bales? If my 14 acres comes close to that yield I'll be in good shape.
