Lawn and field repair how to establish new grass on bare land...featuring Billy the horny goat!

What happens here

The presenter discusses the plan for seeding, showing bags of wheat and Kentucky 32 grass seed. He explains his 'system' for seeding, which involves pouring seed into a pot and then transferring it to a hand-crank spreader. He notes that the wheat and rye grass seeds are too large for the spreader, so he will broadcast them by hand instead. He also gives a tip about endophyte-free fescue seed (Kentucky 32) being better for livestock like cows, allowing for higher hay prices.

Goal: Gather and understand the seeds and tools for planting.

Tools and materials

  • 5-gallon bucket
  • Kentucky 32 Tall Fescue Turf Seed
