Grass seed
Posted on 2/12/22 at 8:22 am

So I have a 90' x 100' area that had a dirt mound, we moved it and leveld the area.
What's the best time of year to throw grass seed down to get it growing to cover the mud?
Is it too cold right now? Does it really matter?
Not going for anything special just trying to help get grass coverage a quicker.
I'm in central lafourche parish

Down in Lafourche, you could probably throw it pretty soon. I work with alot of pasture and hay guys, and we typically don't recommend planting until March or really even April, but it really depends on when your grass starts coming out of winter dormancy. And down there, it may never go dormant. Safe bet is to wait a bit later...at least until the danger of any frost has passed.
But ya'll are also in the growing season down there right now, so you may no longer have a threat of frost.

I’m assuming you are going to put down Bermuda. You should be fine putting it down in March. Rough the area up first and then drag it after you put the seed down

Yea this year has been pretty cold. Supposed to drop to low 30s again tonight. March or April sounds good. Just wasn't sure a time frame of when to do it.
Thanks

If you are worried about erosion or just don’t want to see bare mud, get a seed thrower and put down some annual rye grass. It doesn’t need to planted that deep, an 1/8” deep or so and it comes up quickly and will stabilize the top soil. It will burn off as we warm into spring/summer and won’t inhibit Bermuda growth. Only down side to annual is it doesn’t regrow like perennial rye (which doesn’t seem to sprout as fast as annual).
