Drill seeding can also be done between late August and late <br /> September, but because fall moisture is often unreliable, seeding at this time may not produce the <br /> best results. <br /> If the seed is to be broadcast, the proper seeding time is between mid-December and the <br /> end of February(level areas and all slopes). <br /> WEED CONTROL: Weeds will undoubtedly be a problem, especially on this <br /> area. Control is best achieved by not encouraging them in the first place. This will be <br /> accomplished by not fertilizing and not irrigating. ood=chipmulc ould also help control the <br /> weeds,by reducing nitrogen levels in the soil,but is not necessary if other control methods are <br /> used. Chemical control should be used only for those species that cannot be controlled with <br /> cultural or mechanical means. <br /> Noxious weeds to watch for include Canada Thistle(Circium arvense), any of the <br /> knapweeds (Centauria spp.), and Hoary cress a.k.a. whitetop (Cardaria draba). These are known <br /> to live in the vicinity and may invade this site if given an opportunity. <br /> Daniels Sand Pit Amendment (2008) Exhibit E Page 9 of 22 <br />
