Haven't planted any for about 7 years, but quality name-brand seed was then over $250 for 50 lb bags. Never seeded the cheap stuff like vernal or what farm stores sold. Used to seed about 15 lbs per acre, but by using a cast iron or rubber tire packer, can run 8-10 lbs per acre. Even then, most of the seeds you seed do not emerge. Takes only a small percentage to make a good stand of 25-30 plants per square foot. That's why packing improves germination. Ideal is to get seed in the top 1/4-3/8 inch of good seedbed. What is on top or below 1/2 inch is not likely to grow.
