I live in southern Mississippi and everytime I reseeded the birds came in and ate the seed. I purchased a small soil aerator at Home Depot and ran over the bermand elsewhere that needed seeded , reseeded and drug a piece of fence over to cover the seeds. I used rye seed , some bermuda and perenial rye. I also had a well drilled and added irrigation and I also must hand water the higher berm area so it will get enough water. Until I aerated the soil I was losing the war with birds and going broke on seed. This all turned around and I have a good berm and the flat land is just average.
