Plant at a rate of 50 to 75 lbs. per acre for new pastures, or 25 to 50 lbs. per acre for overseeding pastures.
For pasture fertilization, apply 250 - 350 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per acre in late spring, mid-summer, and early fall. Animals that are grazing will damage the pasture if the pasture is not properly fertilized annually. The grass must be provided with adequate nutrients to compete with the animals.
Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
