How big are the plots going to be? Do they get adequate sunlight? Do you have a mower for the tractor? I'd start with a spreader and a sprayer.

I think you can spray it now. Your weather is probably similar to what I have in North Central PA. The part of the plot close to the camera has a fair amount of grass in it, and you can see it's getting fairly green. Double check the label for any temperature recommendation requirements. If you...

Frost seed when the days are above freezing and the nights are below. The freeze thaw cycle will work the seed into the soil. When th grass starts growing you want to spray it with a grass selective herbicide. Clehtodim is the most commonly used. Read the label ahead of time to make sure you...

I know you said no chest spreaders. I loathed them until I found this one. I'm a fan of the Hooyman chest spreader because it has a great design. You put on a vest that spreader easily straps into. It has easy adjustments. Since you're only spreading small seed, it will stay light. You didn't...
