[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 8123642, member: 54866"] You can't slot seeds into clay and expect them to grow half sensible. You need seed to soil contact as Hally mentioned above and for that you need at least some tilth around the seed. These grass harrow systems are probably the best way of putting grass seed on to land, superior to PH combis or even Vaddy type drills as they put it so shallow, they are fast and cheap but also don't leave the grass in lines, giving better coverage. Soil test fields before beginning any new project would be my number 1 advice. It's £25 per field at most for a broad spectrum. Do not be stingy with the seed rate either. If over seeding you need minimum 8kg/acre or you are wasting your time. Full reseed of long term stuff you want 16kg. Unless of course small seeds like timothy or clover are involved. You can go 2kg of timothy if you like it. [/QUOTE]
