[QUOTE="Chapin81, post: 1783423, member: 39180"] Thank you clarifying, the plan is soil test, once I figure out what my situation is apply what’s needed and start laying down seed. What I will do is what some of you mention set aside some test areas and monitor growth and see how it works itself with other grasses. I was also thinking of waiting to let it seed and then graze. My only problem which isn’t a big deal is that at that point the other grasses would become very mature and the girls won’t want to eat it much. But I figure if they are hungry they will have to eat it. This is definitely going to be a learning experience for me. Hopefully it works out. Also I failed to mention, I don’t use fertilizers and I stopped using herbicides 3 years ago. Since we graze the herd in a tight enough space our cow pies aren’t too far from each other as well and get very good trampling.😊 the good news is we now have earthworms, very few weeds as well. I’m still waiting for a dung beetle to appear. thanks for sharing what you know. [/QUOTE]
