No, there’s a lot more to it than that even though the process may sound that simple. I’ll see if I can find some of the old threads. You other guys who have been doing this for a while help me out here too.

CNC,
What you think about my thatch I was able to cut down?? Sufficient or not? Hope seed comes up and I am able to cut it all back mid summer or so and let weeds and such take over again. We will see.

From the pic it looks like you've got a pretty decent amount of thatch over your seed but it's all just gonna hinge on if we ever get any substantial rain. A 1/4 or 1/2 inch of rain isn't gonna do much.

You would think so but I’m about ready to throw in the towel. It was looking promising for the first of next week but now the chances have went back to nil.

Toothdoc......Here's one of the older throw n mow threads that has pics and discussion. Take a look at the first few pages and it'll give you a good idea about what's going on. Feel free to post up any questions.

Very cool. So over time, this should actually improve the soil too right? The property in buying has really well drained chert, so I'm just hoping to get anything to grow on it.

Correct.....soil improvement is a big part of this method. It's meant to simulate what folks are doing with no-till drills but a more feasible approach for those of us who don't have the money or need for such an expensive piece of equipment.

We are going to spread our lime and fertilizer this weekend and wait for a better forecast before slinging the seed.


Per my earlier report, I mowed too much this summer. What grew back was sprayed and was laid over by the time we spread seed two weeks ago.

We spread the seed. I then ran over it with the disk with a slight bite in the front gang, the back straight and a drag behind the disk. I went slow and I was impressed with the results. The seed was covered with soil and the thatch stayed on top. I hopped off the tractor several times to investigate. The disk only scratched the surface of the soil. FWIW, my disk is about 6' and weighs 650 lbs. It took a little longer than mowing but not much. Just to clarify, I did not disk before spreading any seed. We are getting rain at the camp now. Hopefully I'll have some good news to report.

The weather man said this morning that we would have to get 12+ inches of rain to get us out of drought conditions. It's just not gonna happen this year fellas. frown

Last night i was watching the weather and he said it was 19% humidity! Wow, thats some of the driest air he had ever seen. Until that changes, we're not going to see any significant rain.

If we get rain the end of next week will it be to late for the seed to sprout and grow? That will be dec 1
