Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Preliminary Guide to Reseeding Pinyon-Juniper Lands of Western Colorado
Drilling is the best method of distributing seed evenly and covering it uniformly. Do not cover most grass seeds deeper than 1 inch, as it re duces emergence. Cover the small to medium-sized seed of crested wheatgrass and most species used in range reseeding about one-half inch deep. Cover small-seeded species such as bluegrasses one - fourth inch deep. Larger seeds may be covered up to 1 inch deep. Plant shallow on heavy clay soils to reduce losses from crusting and plant deeper on sandy soils to avoid losses from rapid drying.
Where drilling is not feasible, broadcast the seed with machine or hand - driven broadcasters and cover by shallow Wheatland plowing, disking.
