I'm overseeding some areas with Nature's Seed Intermountain West Goat Pasture blend. I spike harrowed most of the area, but one section was not passable with equipment. So, I got the cordless electric line trimmer and ripped these down to soil. Bonus, it made light mulch at the same time. Hope the pic shows as an attachment.

Randal, I find one of the biggest challenges to no-till pasture is getting the seeds in contact with soil. I don't have a big enough piggy bank for a seed drill, so I thought your idea quite innovative.  I hope you'll be sure to update how well this works.

Yeah will do. I added more mulch of waste hay that had goat poop and pee in it since I seem to have plenty of that Keeping it wet.
 
What's brown and sticky? ... a stick. Or a tiny ad.
