Seeding Small Spots in Wood

[JeffK-MN]

I want to seed some small opening in the wood.
I can get in with a ATV but not the tractor.
What and how is the best to put there?
I live in Minnesota Thanks Jeff

Spin seed on.
Clover tolerates some shade.

If it's shady and will grow in your climate probably orchard grass

I'm pretty sure it's not the season , but next winter , feed hay there, and just broadcast by hand. Of course depending on what you're sewing , but they will tromp it in.

Thanks Orchard grass will grow good here.
I have trimmed some of the trees to get sun light and have hand sprayed the weeds.
If I could get the big round hay bales in that would be a great way to fertilize and seed at the same time. Jeff

ATV and one section of diamond harrow. Keep going around and around until you turn it into something resembling a thin seed bed. Fertilize and seed with hand spinner, and run harrows over it again. I am assuming the area in question is no bigger than an acre or so or this may take a bit of time.
