[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 85773, member: 637"] Thanks MrBilly for sharing your knowledge on this, and finding out the answers to some of the questions. I do greatly appreciate it. Too many times I have done things that I didn't have enough knowledge about and wished I had of asked more questions. I have learned a few things by mistakes, but I don't like the expensive ones. I did not relize that bermuda could be drilled since the seed is almost like pollen. I never did ask for one thing. I just thought I had that one figured out. That is good to know. I did drill the orchard grass and red clover before. Seems the clover seed was coated that I used in the drill. I don't know anything about being able to add a grass box on a drill. I will ask tonight if anyone has had success with it. I stay in contact with a man from John Deere that has done about everything that could be done, then some. He is awfully handy. I am going to seed the Durana in the pasture for sure along with the orchard grass, red clover and lespedeza. I will cut it for hay the first couple of years or till it gets established well. And I may leave it a hay field. Then in the bermuda hay field, I will also drill the Durana. I am hoping that the grass mixture with the clover will let it cure a little better than just straight clover. I also was told that pure white clover is hard to cure the way we want it to like MrBilly stated. Maybe the grass will keep the clover from matting and hold it where it can dry better.
