[QUOTE="dun, post: 31378, member: 34"] This all kind of goes to show that you need to do different things for different places. Our soil(?) is so heavy that if you don't get the seed to penetrate you might as well just feed it to the livestock. Other places with more porous soils you can get away with simpler methods. I use an old JD-VanBrunt drill that I picked up at a farm sale for 10 bucks. I probably have 1000 dollars in labor getting it working, but only about 50 bucks total in parts and origianl purchase. Even with the drill, you need to run a cultipacker or drill over the stuff to get anything to grow. That's one of the reasons I', big into over seeding legumes. We just frost seed them and they catch and grow well. dun [/QUOTE]
