What happens here
The next task involves reseeding areas of the farm where newly planted grass hasn't grown well, particularly around edges and trees. The presenter prepares a bag of Kentucky-32 Tall Fescue grass seed, which is an endophyte-free variety suitable for livestock. He demonstrates a trick for easily opening the stitched seed bag by cutting one end of the string and pulling the correct loop. He then pours the seed into a hand-crank broadcast spreader (GroundWork brand) with a shoulder strap, which is ideal for smaller areas (under 200 sq ft). He walks through the bare areas, cranking the spreader to evenly distribute the seed, noting that the moist soil will help the seed take quickly before rain.
Goal: The presenter spreads Kentucky-32 Fescue grass seed in areas of the farm where grass hasn't taken root effectively, using a hand-crank broadcast spreader.
