[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5409993, member: 17"] Wow, when it comes to physically mixing your seed, you all get serious! Because all my plots are small (none larger than 1.5 acres), I mix the seeds on site in the ATV/UTV spreader (using my arm dug down into the seed). Never seen any indication small seeds are migrating to the bottom and coming out first. But then it takes only about 5 or 6 passes to seed a small plot. As for poundage per acre in mixes, I use the old mixing rate "rule" I was taught years ago. Take the recommended seeding rate for a single species planting and cut it by 1/3 if mixing two species. If three or more species, cut each seed's rate by 1/2. [/QUOTE]
