So I had about 1-1.5 acres cleared due to excavation and site grading. The project ran about two months late for ideal seeding.
I have a bunch of rock and root cleanup in the soil to do yet, my equipment isn't here but I will use a grapple and York rake to get it cleaned up. I don't anticipate getting it finished much earlier than mid October if not late.
First frost will likely beat me to finishing it off so I don't think seeding is a good idea?
The plan is to plant grass of some sort, mostly something green to hold the dirt down. This is more of a rural field vs suburban lawn situation.
What is the best option to help with erosion over the winter?
I'm thinking that covering with hay until early spring may be the answer but it seems like it's going to take a lot of hay.
I'm in Southern NH as far as climate goes.
