I just acquired some property that borders my home. The land needed mass excavation, etc which is now completed. I am planning on testing the soil, etc and treating so that it is healthy and ready for the fall seeding. What can I do in the meantime to keep weeds, etc from over taking the freshly excavated land?
I have fescue in my lawn, and would like to have fescue on this property as well, but I know that I need to wait a couple months before seeding fescue. What should I do to care for this land so that it doesn't erode, etc but will be ready and weed-free when time to seed fescue?
Thanks
Where are you located, around zone 7 it is way to hot to plant much sees right now. Let crabgrass come up if there is any. I understand your concern with erosion Posted via Mobile Device

Why, because it will mostly die? So what? He just needs a cover crop.
Preferably one that will die over winter.
Annual rye is a great suggestion.
Or roll out burlap to prevent erosion.
Profile says North Alabama. That would make it zone 7 or 8. Same as me.
Annual rye thrives in the cool weather. It will germinate and die in a week. Why waste the $. Annual rye is usually used to keep turf green in the winter Posted via Mobile Device
