SWIMMING HOLE FARM POND BUILD VENTRAC MINI BULLDOZER! OVERFLOW SEEDING!

What happens here

Begin by spreading the contractor's mix grass seed across the prepared pond banks using the EarthWay broadcast spreader. Walk in an even pattern to ensure uniform coverage. Since the ground is already tilled and soft, the seed should settle nicely into the soil. After the grass seed, spread the Solu-Cal, followed by the Triple 17 fertilizer. Adjust the spreader settings as specified on each product bag (e.g., '25' for Solu-Cal, '16' for Triple 17 fertilizer). For areas with steeper slopes, apply slightly more fertilizer at the top, as some nutrients will naturally roll downhill with rain. Be prepared for manual labor, including picking up rocks that may surface after grading and during spreading.

Goal: Evenly distribute grass seed, soil amendments, and fertilizer across the pond banks.
