[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1554113, member: 5381"] In our area which is 150 miles North, we wait until February on Coastal. March on Tifton. I would hire a pro to provide them and put them in and do the rest yourself. Spreading them by hand is not easy. My best stand was done that way. The field was prepped, the pro did his stuff, I came in right behind him and cultipacked them. It was mid February and the soil wasn't muddy but wasn't dry. I believe it is better to hold off on the Fertilizer until the sprigs are up and strong, otherwise the fertilized weeds may smother or shade out the sprigs. This might mean early summer. I also sprayed which a lot of folks don't recommend. It was April I think. I used a 2 4 D product at about half strength and then fertilized a few weeks after that. About mid summer with the sprigs spreading I sprayed again. All the prep work and control all summer of the weeds let a lot of grasses that were already there, reestablish themselves. I was surprised to see a large batch of B Dahl come up. [/QUOTE]
