[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 588505, member: 8840"] My soil on this site is a fairly heavy loam. I have a variety of stuff from sandy to rocky to heavy loan. I have picked the heavier areas for fescue. I was disking some more yesterday and believe the problem is not so much clods of dirt from it being wet, but clods of dirt around the roots of dead grass sod that won't let go. I only sprayed the site around labor day and should have done it much sooner. I have sufficient loose soil but hate to have such an bumpy surface for the future. I am wondering if a couple trips with the cultipacker after sowing the seed would work. What i probably need is a rotary tiller. On another site I sprayed much earlier and broke it up in July and it was in fine shape. It is supposed to rain today and maybe that will help because i think i could disk forever and it would still be there. What happened is I planned to renovate about 8 acres this year and 8 next. The state came up with a cost sharing program late this summer for pasture renovation as part of drought relief monies and i decided to do it all. I have small equipment so i probably bit off more than i can chew. It started raining in late august, then we had about 9 inches form a hurricane in early Sept. and it just kept raining until a couple weeks ago. Finished up the easy part and now working on the hard stuff. [/QUOTE]
