Keep in mind that for most folks this is gonna be a rebuilding process that’s gonna take a number of years to get right. It’s not really just a matter of trying it and it being hit or miss as to whether it works. There’s likely not gonna be very many fields that do well in the beginning of the process. When you get to years 3, 4, and 5 though things should start looking a whole lot different for you assuming you’ve made the right moves to help the process along. I didn’t start out being able to grow really good looking plots when all I had was a field full of sand…..but now that I have a field with a foot deep organic layer across the top things work a whole lot differently.

If you’ve got too much broadleaf plant composition in the field and aren’t getting enough “hay” to cover your seed….then maybe try mowing it once (maybe twice if not inconvenient to do so) during the summer next year and see if that doesn’t help bring back some grass species into the mix. One of the things you’re looking for in a natural mix is a balance of grass, broadleaf, and legume. You may have to tweak things along the way to achieve the results you’re wanting but always keep in mind that every field is at some stage of a long term process.
