[QUOTE="fargus, post: 773310, member: 13480"] I wouldn't worry about the herbicide. I know that alfalfa isn't that competitive early on, but OG and Quackgrass are pretty good to have around. (Our extension people curse Quackgrass.... I love it. Good feed quality, can't kill it by overgrazing and it yields much better than most other sod-forming grasses.) If you are trying to get coarse seed established I would lean towards a Tye or Great Plains drill. The coulter will slice open the existing sod and leave a narrow band of "worked" ground. They also have finger harrows behind them and will help shallowly incorporate your grass seed. The deere is fine, but you need to be careful you aren't putting your seed in too deep. [/QUOTE]
