FROST SEEDING TIPS : Part 2 

There is enough hype and nonsense on RU-vid. We don’t need anymore 😉

I’ve tried a few of those plastic ones and found the gears jam up for some reason. Maybe the Scott’s is better quality Thanks.

​@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Scotts is better. Keep it clean, silicone spray into gear house helps.

I agree, much easier and accurate with small Scott’s spreader. I like to monitor the amount of seed coming out that you can’t really do with a large bag spreader. Clover seed too small.

I also use a small scotts spreader for clover. Works great.

I think we will try one this year.. Thanks

I've had the same earthway seeder for years. Never had any problems with it.

​@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Hey john im goin to be planting a screen of the tecumseh this year. I can only do about a 5ft wide wide strip on the width hunting. Would u still recommend walking in the same pattern as you describe when spreading? Straight then zigzag? Ive never done switch so i just want to get it right. Just curious since it was such a narrow width to cover. Thanks john!

⁠try to get it wider if at all Possible. I would just walk a straight pattern

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 Awsome, thanks for the quick response too. I know, i wish i could get it a bit wider. Should 5ft be good to get me by if my seed rate is good?

Thanks Jake!!

Thanks!!

You bet

Thanks its probable the best blend for kill plots offered.

We will have to try one

Interested to try one

In spring with rains, yes. That’s when we will fertilize

Where to

Good question. It will depend on what else was in there. How much weed growth was there besides the bluestem

Simazine may slow the rye down

I would spread in spring before a good rain.

I usually get a 6 foot wide pattern with the earthway

Yes But the now have plastic inserts to help.

Take an ice cream pail with the bottom cut out and put inside the bag. Pull it out after filling the bag. Works great!

Clethodim for grasses Imox for broadleaf I like to mow more than spray

I still wait until March You can do both

Wet ground clover is probably your best option.

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 thanks will give a try

I would get lime for sure. Also , what are you looking to plant

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 clover and chicory

No I think there may be a place for it, but not with our white clovers.

Mow 2 -3 times One tiller pass and done

Some information I have seen is moss can be an indicator of low ph. Can you get a test done?

@@northwoodswhitetailsfoodpl2663 I had one done 2 years ago and made the recommended amendments before initial planting. Everything looked fantastic last year. Zero complaints. I should probably have another one done ✅

We will try one
