[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1562741, member: 15537"] Thanks Dave. I was looking for a rule of thumb that the extension office programs use. I thought I read that each type should be divided by the total number of similar/competing types. As an example, fescue, Orchardgrass, timothy, Perennial ryegrass and annual ryegrass are all cool season grasses, so I would divide each one by 5 :?: If the recommended seeding rate in KY for fescue in a monoculture is about 20 lbs/acre; then that should be divided by 5 to get 4 lbs/acre :?: The recommended seeding rate for orchardgrass in a monoculture is 15 lbs/acre; then that should be divided by 5 to get 3 lbs/acre :?: Perennial ryegrass is recommend at 20 lb/acre. I might put that in at 2 lbs/acre :?: Annual ryegrass is recommended at 20 lbs per acre. I might put that in at 2 lbs/acre (maybe 1 lb) :?: Does that seem right? I can call the extension office tomorrow and see what they say. [/QUOTE]
