[QUOTE="flaboy+, post: 140899, member: 2489"] I cut a field of Bahia with a disc mower to about 3 inches, I then spread the seed with a broadcast spreader on the back of a tractor. I put out about 40 pounds per acre. The recommended here is 24-34 pounds per acre. I did not disc it in or roll it. As I said before I talked to the sod farmer down the road who grows grass for a living and he recommended against drilling. He did say the best way is to cut it all up with a disc, drag it, and the broadcast the seed. He also said that takes a lot of time and effort. He said with rye grass seed he just cuts the grass, gets the cut off of the ground and just broadcasts it out. This is the way I have done it for years with pretty good success. A little rain helps a lot also. My only problem is the turkey's like to eat the seed but I suspect they will only eat a small percentage. [/QUOTE]
