Grass Seeding Timing and Precautions for Upper Llanos
It is early but preparation is vital for grass seeding. Seed costs range from five to twelve or fifteen dollars per acre and no guarantee accompanies planting. Key steps include selecting good seed, proper seed bed, firm yet not tight, plowing and rolling as needed, correct seeding rates and methods, and using available Upper Llanos Soil Conservation District equipment. Introduced grasses should wait until mid April to mid May, with rain aiding germination and viability long term. SCS staff can advise on seed type and timing.
