[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 616501, member: 8840"] I used about 5 lbs per acre as well, and the field i was using has some existing crabgrass. It is a very very small seed and has to be mixed with something. Some people use sand. Clean disked the field, then I spread it with a broadcast spreader mixed with fertilizer, then cultipacked. I don't have a drill. I fertilized at planting the first year but nothing the second yr. It tolerates low or high ph well but likes 6-7. Since i double crop with winter clover i try to keep the ph over 6 Here is a link to the noble foundation where initially got my information. [url=http://www.noble.org/ag/forage/crabgrass4forage/planting_rye.html]http://www.noble.org/ag/forage/crabgras ... g_rye.html[/url] They have done years of research on crabgrass. I have read it all a couple times and will be glad to answer your questions as well. I am a big crabgrass fan. The guy who developed it and sells it is at estel farm and seeds. They will send it UPS to you and send you an invoice: [url=http://www.redrivercrabgrass.com/index.php]http://www.redrivercrabgrass.com/index.php[/url] Mr Dalrymple who worked at the noble foundation, is now retired, and he is great and will answer your question.
