[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7767292, member: 54866"] Two questions to ponder when compleplating how late you will leave a reseed. Is it still mild and not drenched (or drought)? What are conditions like and what is the local climate and weather going to bring? What varieties/species do you intend to sow? Be aware that drilling 16 or 18 kg or italian in October after maize is probably ok. Putting in some expensive long term ley with wussy diploids in it and expecting them to thrive in cold soil and frosts is asking for a problem. Something will no doubt grow but it might not be 100% of what was in the bag. If you drill or broadcast and do not cover the seed and roll or otherwise get the seed pressed in, be aware than the frost and wind can heave plants straight out of the ground and the take will be poor.
