Planting Tifton 9 Bahia grass

Posted by James Howell on March 29, 2012 at 13:14:37 from (75.227.15.89):

Planted a small area down in the bottom with Tifton 9 Bahia grass.

Did most of the disc harrow work several weeks ago, but overnight temperature was still too cool to plant.

We've also had a lot of rain in the last few weeks and this area was too wet to work.

Started on Monday with "52" our 1952 Model A and the JD 14ft rotary hoe.

The rotary hoe uncovered a lot of roots from briars and dead roots from small sweetgum trees cut several years ago.

Spent about an hour on Tuesday picking up sticks and roots to get the area clean.

Came back on Wednesday with "Sam" one of our 1951 MTs and the Brillion 8ft Sure-Stand Seeder to cultipack and prepare the seed bed.

After using the cultipacker, the seed bed was ready.

This morning "1011" one of our 1953 Model 70s was used to power the Howse spreader.

Added one 40 pound bag of Tifton 9 Bahia grass seed plus a left over 25 pound bag of Cheyenne Bermuda grass seed.

After spreading all the seed, came back with "Sam" and the cultipacker.

Using the cultpacker after seeding creates better seed-to-soil contact.

Now we pray for rain.
