[QUOTE="Hawk, post: 31335, member: 114"] I live a little East of you, over in Smith county. I have been overseeding rye grass in coastal bermuda pastures for several years now. I use also the "Gulf" variety. We usually plant in October, once we get a little moisture in the ground. Prior to seeding, I cut the coastal short, but don't try to scalp it. I broadcast the seed with a regular fertilizer spreader at the rate of 50# per acre. I also apply 250# of fertilizer per acre. I then drag the pasture to get the seeds down to the ground. The Gulf rye will grow fine as long as it is in contact with the ground. It does not have to be covered. The rye will supplement your winter feeding program, not replace it. It primarily helps out in the late winter and early spring while we are waiting for the coastal to green up. This is an annual routine, there is little or no carry over from year to year. [/QUOTE]
