[QUOTE="M-5, post: 1575491, member: 23550"] Some might be interested others maybe not but I am starting this thread to document my progress on this project. I have 12.5 acres of plain ole pensacola bahia that joins my 20 acres of tifton 85. I have been wanting to replant this field for a couple of years. If things go well the next couple of months I am gonna give it a go. Soil test and Amendments have been done. Last spring it was burnt and sprayed to eliminate any weeds. cut hay off of it before seed heads matured last year. no fall seeds because of hurricane. Fed cows on it all winter. drug it early to distribute the manure . grazed it hard and short and let it come back about 3" or 4" and sprayed a little over 2qts of Roundup this Sunday will be 2 weeks. Should be ready to disk this weekend. Donor area had 100# N 40# P and 100# K put on it Wednesday 2 weeks ago. My aunt has a spreader I could have borrowed (everyone knows what happens to borrowed equipment ) but I decided to build my own. Picked up an s-10 rear end and fabbed up most everything last saturday in about 4 hrs . Still have to finish welding the bottom plate on the turn table and build the chute and tongue. [/QUOTE]
