August and September are prime months for fall seedings. Planting between August 15 and September 1 avoids weeds, suits grasses and clovers, and favors lime and fertilizer timing. Ensure soil tests, proper seed depth, minimal thinning, and fall limestone spreading to let lime work into the soil before spring seeding.
The Daily News Farm Page reports the Virginia Polytechnic Institute with the State Department of Agriculture again recommends alfalfa weevil control measures. Elevation affects weevil activity and timing, with fertilizer-lime spreaders or tractor-mounted seeders advised for large or small acreages. Four low and two high analysis fertilizers are released with heptachlor per ton, plus spring sprays if not using heptachlor. Revised bulletin details are available at the county agent's office.
