United Sta:as Soil <br /> • <br /> Department of Conservation <br /> Agriculture Service <br /> -2- <br /> Seeding in late fall around October 10-15 is recommended so that germination <br /> will occur the following spring. The seeding rates given here are rates <br /> for drilling and if broadcast method is used the seeding rates should be doubled. <br /> 6. In this particular area I would suggest mulching when the area has been planted. <br /> Several good commerical mulches are available and work very well. If a straw <br /> mulch is used it should be crimped into the ground and put on at a rate of <br /> 3,000 pounds per acre. <br /> The seeding should be protected from livestock, vehicles, etc. until the plants <br /> are well established. <br /> l/ Topsoil is defined for this purpose as material suitable for growing plants in. <br /> It includes the rather thin layer found on top of the earth that is highest in <br /> organic matter And normally referred to as topsoil plus the upper portion of the <br /> soil underneath this layer referred to as subsoil. <br /> If we can he of further assistance to you, please feel free to call on us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Conservation Technician <br /> CB:ce <br /> Enclosures <br /> O <br />
