Hi all, I just bought a 5 acre lot in the Columbus ohio area. Right
now the ground is covered with weeds and I was wondering the best way
to get some nice grass to grow. Any thoughts are appreciated

thx,

Hi dnmccoy, 5 acre's ay? That's a big area to seed at one time, is
it graded already or is it still rough?

Its rough but it dosnt have much of a roll to it. Its pretty flat
except for one corner which is maybe 6-9" higher

I suggest you look into a roundup application followed by having
someone rock-hound and grade your soil. After that you'll need
at least 350 lbs of a good seed blend and tons of straw.

Now is the time to get busy..Fall is perfect for doing that.

Addendum ^^^ that's per acre.

Wow, don't you still need to water twice daily after the seed and
straw is spread. Might want to get a means setup for irrigation in
place as well.

Hello, if you want a fast stand use some urea it is pure nitrogen . I
would say about 30 # per acre . just my 2 cents but it wouldn't hurt to
do a soil sample to see if it is starved for nutrients.

Was there a lawn there at one time? If so then just wackin' the weeds
may be enough to create a lawn again.
