So my wife and I just bought 11 acres to eventually build our last house. The way it lays out right now 2 acres are cleared for building the rest is woods.
The land has been logged out so it’s got good sunlight and thick cover. Looks like they left mostly immature red and white oaks. I want to put two small “test” plots in this year. I want to plant one plot on an old logging road and if it works do the same next year on the bigger area.
I’ve already bought green cover fall release seed mix. The ground is wet/ wetter so that’s not really a concern. There’s grass of some sort so my question is I’ve seen two different methods- kill the grass and broad cast seed or lay the grass down or the Buffalo method to broadcast seed and crimp it? So do it kill it, then seed and lay it down or seed and crimp it?
