Plant during late spring through early summer, when soil temperatures are 65°F or above. Plow and cultipack to develop a firm seedbed. Proper firmness is indicated by a heel print no more than 1/8" deep in the soil. Plant at a maximum of 1/4 inch depth.

Due to varying soil conditions and types, it is necessary to conduct a soil test each year in order to supply the proper nutrients. Apply 20-30 lbs. of nitrogen at planting time. When the new plants start to run, apply 50-60 lbs. of nitrogen. After the stand is established, apply 70-100 lbs. of nitrogen after each cutting.

If grazed, apply up to 150 lbs. of nitrogen per year in split applications throughout the summer. The last fertilizer application of each year should be done 4 to 6 weeks before a killing frost, to increase cold tolerance. Delay grazing until forage is 8 to 10 inches tall. Do not graze or clip for hay shorter than 2 inches. Rotate animals more often during periods of drought stress.

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.
