My thought is to de-thatch the area, overseed, apply a sprinkling of compost and water. Has anyone done this before? Can you give me some advice or tips to help make this work? Semper Fi,

Joe

Sounds like you've got it pretty well figured out. Just be advised that alfalfa has an incredibly long (40 feet or more) root system which makes it great for preventing erosion, but once established it also has the potential to use a BUNCH of water. (Of course this makes it very drought tolerant as well, which can be a good thing.)

Good luck!
