Lawn Seeding

Thanks for the great memory jog, cthonestguy.

We (my wife and I) had a absolute bonehead (and I am being kind) of a neighbor in about 5-6 years ago (when still in Australia). This moron's wife got a load of horse manure dumped on their driveway. They then proceeded to spread it around their yard. The one problem was that thier yard was terraced a level above ours. Quite a bit of that horse manure wound up in our yard, and especially close to fence area close to them. Even two years ago, and prior to moving back, I was still picking weeds out along the fence area.

I will keep in mind the weed problem with the "organic matter". Thanks!

Lawn Seeding

I've had problems with weed seeds in cow manure I've used. So far, the horse manure I applied this year isn't bad. The grass I spread it over is doing awesome.

I let a load of cow manure sit all last year while applying roundup to anything that grew out of it. Show cut down on the seen problem.

Beagle,

Any pictures of that chain link fence roller you made to smooth out your top soil? It sounds like that's what I could use for a similar job.

Lawn Seeding

Even with out the manure or the new top soil if you disturb the soil enough to let weed seeds see enough light to germinate they will. If possible spread what ever you are planning to spread and cultivate how ever you planned to. Level to your finished grade and then wait. About 2 weeks should do just fine before you spray one last time. This way here when you do finally seed you will disturb as little top soil "thus exposing as few new weed seeds" as possible. Pack and pray for water/precip.

Running a roller over the seedbed is very effective. When it comes to seed germination, it is all about how well the seed comes into contact with the soil.
