Oh you’re in north Alabama, I’m in Blount county Alabama. Gonna hopefully do this soon- no tractor myself, but a friend has a tractor he might bring over to unload round bales and unroll them for me. Hopefully I can find Bahia round bales.
Yeah- fayette county. This works great for me and I’m amazed after a few years how much really solid grass is established. Check with the people you get the round bales from and ask if the have any “ old hay”. You can get it for cheaper and save some money. Hope this helps.
I added lime- yes. But, in my opinion lime is not that the total solution. The rain can wash the lime or seed away with the slant in the land - this will eliminate that problem and allow seed to get into the soil without disrupting the soil. I hope this helps.
Cant wait to see the update, great video 👍
I feel really good about this. I have rolled out hay before with great results. thank you for the feedback

Do you put down seed underneath the hay?
Great question - No. there is so much seed in the hay that as the hay rots it will allow the seed to germinate and grow. Thanks for the question.
Lime?
