[QUOTE="Dave, post: 579111, member: 498"] In the original post Kerley said he was going to broadcast the seed. The 300 seeds per square foot is the NRCS recommended rate for broadcast seeding of grass. Broadcast seeding it is wise to use a heavier rate than seed that is drilled in because there is a greater chance of a portion of the seed having poor cover and not sprouting. There is a big difference in recommended rates for broadcast and drilled seeding. On a personal level I know that I always use plenty of seed when planting grass. Part of this is I am very close to a major grass seed growing area and seed has been cheap. With all the other expenses of working a field and planting, seed was the cheapest, so I don't use a little extra. [/QUOTE]
