Methods for renewing pasture and avoiding poor stands
In American Gardening J. Craig outlines two main methods to restore pastures after sod inversion. One option is plow and fallow until mid August to allow sod decay, then seed with cattle kept out until soil settles, possibly mowing grass in the interim. The alternative plows all at once and seeds part with a cover crop such as oats and peas while fallowing the rest, feeding the crop to cattle later.
