Seedbed Preparation

[Anonymous Poster]

Hey Joe,

When did you plant the seed?
Rye grass doesn't do well when its hot, and we had some warm days this fall. My AC was on until Dec. 18th.
Just a thought.
Nice piece of ground, where is it located?

I know that ash can raise the acidity of the soil. Could the brown spots be in places that had burned more? Thats where I guess a soil test comes in handy. Just a thought.

Hi,

I thought the heat could of been a problem too... We hit about 84 degrees for a couple of days. I just can't explain why it is so patchy.

My property is located in East St.Cloud.

I planted the seed the weekend after Thanksgiving.

I never thought about the ash, but that could be a problem too.
Take care,

Joe
