Correct seedbed preparation

Ploughing will bury parasites and has been the conventional way of reseeding.

Bury trash and avoid going too deep in order to avoid the fertile top layer of soil being buried. Although expensive, this method provides a good seedbed. Sowing with the one pass is also common and avoids bringing up unwanted stones.

Minimum cultivation involves the cultivation of a shallow seedbed through the use of a power-harrow, rotavator or similar type of machine. For good results it is important to have low levels of trash and a compact seedbed through rolling.
