As title - have you had better luck with autumn sown grass or spring?
Obviously this year spring was colder than normal, mild winter. So weather always plays its part.
I’ve got small acreage and wanted to intersow into existing mixed grass pasture some timothy, cockfoot and tall fescue. Soil is peaty loam 10 inches, limestone base, high rainfall area. Land drained.
I’ve never tried autumn sown, spring sown tends to happen before 2 weeks no rain and sudden heat so now thinking autumn sown could be good. winter temps rarely gets below 0 until feb here in west ireland.
