[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7467153, member: 348"] If the existing pasture is such that it will recover and grow slowly, it will stifle out all but Westerwolds or IRG ime, and they won't thrive with that sort of competition either. I agree that those species are never great for quality, and their erect habit always makes the crop look bigger than it actually is. No doubt the resident seed salesmen will happily sell you something;) , but I wouldn't bother spending a lot on something that is only ever going to be half a job. If the ground has been poached that badly, DD'ing seed in will no doubt give a bit of a boost as some might take, but I doubt you'll get the expense back. £30-35 for Westerwold/IRG seed, £25 for DD'ing, a bit of fert for those hungry varieties.... In reality, you're probably better off putting some fert on when that existing sward starts to recover, then mowing that while it's still young. [/QUOTE]
