Hey all. Last fall we bought a nice little piece of property with about 4 acres. About 1 1/2 is pasture for the horses. I have five little ones, so during the summer, with rotation that should be enough. My problem is that a LOT of it is in weeds and the rest is now over grazed. I have moved the little ones to a dry lot and then have an eletric fence I set up in the yard for them so they "mow" the grass. I move it about every two or three days. I am not going to turn them back out into the horse pasture for the rest of the year I think, to let it rest and let the little bit of grass that is in there grow and I am mowing down the weeds. Should i reseed the really weedy places or just keep it mowed and let the grass take over again? If I reseed to I just lay seed down, do I have to break up the ground first? What about putting straw over the new seeds? Anyone have exerpience with this?
