9. Mulching and Anchoring-Native bay mulch free of weeds will be applied at a rate of 4,000 <br /> pounds per acre. At least 50%of the hay should be 10 inches in length or longer when bales - <br /> are open. Anchoring of the mulch may be done with a farm type disk plow by setting <br /> the disk straight and applying adequate weigbt to crimp the mulch four inches into the soil. <br /> Manure can be substituted for hay mulch if it is cloddy and applied at a rate of 20 tons per <br /> acre. If manure is used for nutrient requirement as well as mulch,application rate should be <br /> increased to meet nitrogen and phosphorus requirements above the 20 tons minimum <br /> requirement. Lab analysis of the nitrogen and phosphorus component shall dictate how much <br /> more manure is needed to meet those needs. <br /> 10. Livestock Exclusion - All livestock will be excluded until grass is well established on the site. <br /> If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at 719-254-7882. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> David A.
