I used play sand and some coir to dilute the seed for spreading. <br /><br />The jute keeps seeds from being blown away by the 20-40mph winds across the yard. It makes seed-sized windbreaks. And the moisture retention is improved.

The sand wouldn't let the blue grama seed fly off.

If the spreader doesn't work I like what you came up with and will probably do something similar.<br /><br />That's a good idea about the snakes, I have some silt fence left over from a different part of the site and I may use that at the upper part of the hill to slow the water down, and maybe pick up some of ryooanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548792550649898416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046177391982632340.post-12806468074516596752017-02-28T08:13:53.390-07:002017-02-28T08:13:53.390-07:00Ryan - Ask the seller of the seeds what works best...Ryan - Ask the seller of the seeds what works best for 100% buffalo.<br /><br />I hand-scattered it from a jar with holes drilled in the lid. My problem was the tiny, light and fluffy Blue Grama seeds not wanting to fall out. If it had been all buffalo burs it would have been easier.

I'm building a house and am planning on putting some buffalo grass seed down on the bare soil this coming spring. I'm in southwestern Iowa. What did you use to spread the seed? I was planning on using a regular push broadcast spreader but I had heard that the buffalograss burrs might not flow through that very well.
