    Sow at the higher end of the recommended seeding rate and don’t worry too much about the sparrows. Birds will take some seed, but generally it’s not something I’d be overly concerned about. Lightly raking the seed into the soil will also help reduce losses.

      @KJ ok I’ll stop looking at them then! It looked like there were 60 or more down there before!!
