Effective Alfalfa Seeding

"A heavy seeding rate of alfalfa
won't remedy loose seedbed, or
one low in lime, PHOSPHORUS, or
potash" says William E. Tarbell,
Kent County Agent.
About fifteen to twenty-five
pounds of quality alfalfa seed to
the acre, on a firm seedbed, is rec
Under good condi-
tions, as light a seeding as 10
pounds per acre will give a good
stand. Heavy seedlings won't over
come fertilizer deficiencies, though.
Tarbell suggests having your soil
tested at the University, to be sure
of plant foods.
AS to the mechanics of seeding,
Tarbell advises covering seed not
more than s-inch on light soils,
barely covering it on heavier soils.
