It was felt that because of the <br />winds on site that the broadcast seed would, <br />ar could be, moved and therefore result in <br />lower seeds per square foot. Secondly, due to <br />the draughty soil conditions, consideration <br />was given to the lack of emergence after ger- <br />mination, if germination occurred. <br />With the proposed 3000 lbs./acre of crimped <br />mulch, it is now felt that the previously <br />proposed seed mixture can 6e reduced as <br />follows: <br />Percent <br />Seeds/ of <br />Species 16s.
