[QUOTE="novatech, post: 914646, member: 5494"] The only trouble with this adding sand is that the sand will throw farther than the Bluestem. So you must account for this and even wind direction and how much wind. Might be a big deal the first year but if you let it go to seed then it will will give good coverage the second year on it's own. An old E-Zee flow drop seeder is the best if you can find one. I used an old New Idea which is exactly the same. I think a lot of manufactures made the same one or maybe bought them and just put their name on. They need to have picker wheels to bring the seed down to the opening and keep it separated. Call your local NRCS office. They usually know who has the equipment for this. You may even be able to rent it. Some of the tractor dealers rent seeders that will handle chaffy seed. Turner seed has the chaff removed and will work in any normal broadcaster. Same setting as Bermuda. [/QUOTE]
