The next six or eight weeks is the ideal time to sow those pasture seeds. We have a paddock that was heavily infested with serrated tussock, and thus had to use flupropanate, the long acting herbicide specific for serrated tussock. This killed many of the native grasses, so I have just thrown out with the super spreader a mix of superphosphate, sub clover, and strawberry clover. Clovers can be successfully propagated by aerial spreading, and can of course fix the nitrogen making it available for the grasses.
Clover seed needs to be inoculated with the bacteria that perform the nitrogen fixing, the sub clover came with a pre inoculation coating ( blue), but the strawberry clover needs to have the inoculant mixed with the seed prior to spreading.( a fairly simple operation, but the seed seller will do it for you)
All we need now to achieve success is some regular rain falls for a month or so!
