[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1826267, member: 18945"] A little late for ryegrass IMO, but it will still work. In East Texas, we tend to get our Oct and Nov rains as T-storms ahead of the cool fronts and ryegrass seed is so light, any significant rainfall brings run off that washes the seed downhill into low places. I didn't have many slopes over in San Jacinto County, which is about 140 miles southeast of you but in order for my winter forage to provide erosion control, I had to first broadcast the seed, then run a disk over it, going perpendicular to the slopes. I had pretty good luck 2 years running with a mix of ryegrass, crimson clover, wheat and oats, but the oats and clover drew deer and feral hogs like crazy and the hogs caused more damage than the ryegrass would prevent on the slopes. Not much of the wheat came up. I just went with straight ryegrass after that. I don't remember the exact mix ratio but I got it in supersacks up at Bryan producers co-op. [/QUOTE]
