Unless you are doing something to prep the seedbed (rough it up), broadcasting is pretty useless. Now if you run a thatcher over it to loosen the surface and then roll or rake the seed in, you get some value. Time+materials for me
Slitseeding - I take the cost to rent it (120.00 a day here) +the seed,fert,straw cost + the labor rate I want. Unless it's one big lawn I wait till i've got 3 or 4 to do before renting, then divide the rental by each yard used on.

i should have been more thorough. yes, broadcast seeding is no bueno, we power seed. the grass we use up here is fescue/rye/bluegrass mix, the rate on established lawns is 5-7 lbs per k. so heres the deal on that: 4k property=$340. seed, approx 25-30 lbs=about $30. we also fert when we are done, its included in the fee. fert cost, about $4. i love doing this work. we do it from early sept -mid october.
