Observations
Manual Spreading took about 2 hours using the inexpensive cart spreader. The light weight of the cart was susceptible to flipping over and spilling the load, which happened twice. Slowing down to a crawl over rough areas seemed to address the problem. Average speed was around 3mph.

Next Step
Track emergence, coverage, persistence, and competition from other vegetation.
