TIS THE SEASON.....GOING TOPLESS ON THE FARM

What happens here

Using the Groundwork hand-crank broadcast spreader, the presenter walks through the mulched area, broadcasting the grass seed. He explains his method for achieving even and thorough coverage across the 'about 4-acre plot': he makes one pass, and then on the subsequent pass, he overlaps the previous path by approximately half its width. This 'half-lapping' technique ensures that no spots are missed and provides consistent seed distribution. He anticipates that this diligent seeding will result in a lush, green, and velvety 'creek bottom.'

Goal: Evenly distribute grass seed over the prepared land for optimal growth.
