A grass drill should be equipped with <br />a satisfactory feeding mechanism, agitator, double disk furrow openers and packer <br />wheels. <br />The above seeding rate should be increased two fold if broadcasting the seed by <br />hand or a manually operated seeder, such as small areas not accessible to drill. <br />The seedbed shall be free of perennial plant competition and should tie reasonably <br />firm. Seed will be covered with '~" to %" of plant growth medium. <br />Critical areas should not have slopes steeper than 3:1. Slopes of 6;1 or flatter <br />are much more desirable, In general, the chance for vegetation establishment <br />increases as the percent of slope decreases. <br />Mulching with clean straw (grass, hay, or ceral grain) applied at a mate of 4,000 <br />pounds per acre will provide 92 percent coverage for the soil surface. This will <br />reduce erosion, retain soil moisture and maintain soil temperature tt.at is needed <br />
