I acquired a 75 Ac farm a while back (in SE North Carolina), my main job is an electrical engineer, and I only know some very basic farming ways.I have several fields in Coastal Bermuda (total of about 30 Ac). I'm getting older and between my aches and pains and time, I just can't "farm" these areas. I would like to plant Centipede grass in these fields since its doesn't require much maintenance; and maybe one day my daughter can sell the grass sod. At any rate, I'm trying to come up with some scheme to plant Centipede grass into the existing Coastal, without killing the Coastal or cutting up the ground. My thought is to give the Centipede about three years of growth and then spray the whole area with “Poast” to kill everything except the Centipede. To plant the Centipede, I’ve been thinking of something like a “no-till” planting implement. With the cost of Centipede at about $27/lb and the very small size of the Centipede seed, I don’t think the standard “no-till” planter will work: even if I mix the Centipede seed with dry sand. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Or has anyone seen or made a plow that would rip up the ground and plant seed as small as Centipede? Any and all ideas are welcome. Thanks
