• All seeding rates suggested are based on drilled stands. <br />If broadcast seeding is required as already stated, these <br />rates will be doubled. <br />II-3.7 Seeding Depth <br />Seeding depth is governed by soil texture and seed size. <br />The optimum depth of planting for all drilled species would <br />be 1/4 to 3/4 inch below the surface. <br />II-3.8 Time of Seeding <br />Time of seeding is very critical. The species to be <br />used will be planted in the fall or early spring. For both <br />study areas, the most appropriate period is in the fall after <br />• mid-September and in late April and early May when optimum <br />soil moisture.conditions exist.to allow planting and covering <br />the seed with .the recommended depth of soil. Overburden and <br />I topsoil stockpiles for reclamation will be planted with a <br />L cover crop prior to May 30 as previously discussed. <br />r <br />II-3.9 Seeding Method <br />`- It is anticipated that all seeding (both of cover crop <br />and permanent species) wil'_ be done with a drill or <br />hydromulcher.
