i only put out 2 60lb bags over 7 acres. i was told 2lbs per acre for broadcasting but they only had two bags and i was just experimenting smallscale anyway. i will have to look back on planting date but it was later than should have been so i guess thats the main reason mine hasnt performed at all yet, still. i was expecting more winter growth but i guess it isnt going to do anything until late march or april.
