[QUOTE="JRGidaho`, post: 740065, member: 13410"] Lack of N in the soil is one of the reasons chipping / shredding type of clearing is slow to recover and grow good grass. Unrolling and feeding a decent quality hay on the area would help get some N and microbial activity in the soil. If you still don't have anything growing there next fall, try overseeding some hairy vetch on it. Hairy vetch will grow on almost any kind of soil and is a heck of a good N-fixer. They use it a lot in strip mine reclamation because those soils are so dead and it takes N to bring it back to life. If you wanted to try something this spring, annual lespedeza would probably grow there and it would put a little bit of N in the soil. [/QUOTE]
