I stand corrected. I did not even know there are other more lawn friendly varieties of bahia.
I didn't either, until an uncle recommended it when we originally planted 20 years ago.
This was after we plugged St. Augustine & the chinch bugs moved in & wiped us out. :banginghe

This is a pic of my existing Argentine Bahia.

Beautiful! And since you said it was drilled in, I agree with all the others, just wait for a big rain and those little row marks will be flat in no time. Mowing a thick lawn once a week by this August.

I don't know why folks hate on Bahia. There is not an invasive plant on earth I hate more than Bermuda grass unless it's Multiflora rose or Oriental bittersweet.

Don’t forget Bradford pear and its offspring.

Big 10-4 on the Chinese privet, add wisteria and chinaberry. The other ones you mentioned I haven’t had the displeasure of meeting them.

Is it yard or pasture.That would be bumpy mowing in a yard.

Yard. That's what I'm thinking, bumpy.
If it's yard, I'd probably take a chance and drag it, at least lightly.

You had better hurry up n do it then. The whole purpose of the seed drill is to put the seed at a perfect depth. I would think that sandy soil will wash flat in the first heavy rain.
