[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 445573, member: 4362"] I've done it like JRM recommended. In my opinion, I think it is best to harrow lightly using a harrow with scallop discs. Then broadcast the seed. The small cups created by the discs are excellent for small seed germination. I got a good stand when I did it plus I got an extra crop of some other clover that I had planted several years ago. Another good way, and faster way, is to use a chain harrow aka chain drag. These can be turned backwards so they dethatch the existing grass. If you attach this to your drawbar with a ten foot length of chain and then hook up your spreader you can broadcast the seed and when it hits the ground the chain harrow will work it in the ground to the proper depth. By using the chain harrow simultaneously, you will also find you are less apt to overspread or underspread the field since you can easily see where you have been in the field. Also, since the small seed like clover cannot be thrown very far, a 12' drag works about perfect. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
