We discussed, however, the use of an alternate plant growth medium; <br />i.e., available sand amended by cow and/or horse manure, mulch, and <br />fertilizer. <br />c. <br />Please specify the amount of manure to be applied and m <br />incorporation. <br />Please specify the type and rate of mulch. <br />To determine fertilizer needs, soil samples should be a <br />Please note: inform the analyst of the type and rate o <br />mulch to be added, as this may affect the amount of fer <br />required. (Manure and mulch may not provide adequate 1 <br />plant nutrients to the soil. Remember that a balanced <br />nitrogen ratio, favorable temperature [greater than 45 <br />aeration, and moisture conditions promote decomposition <br />matter; supplemental fertilizer inay be required to prov <br />nutrients to seedlings at the time of their establishme <br />growth, as well as aid in decomposition, which may prec <br />release from soil organic matter.) <br />thod of <br />alyzed. <br />manure and <br />ilization <br />vels of <br />arbon to <br />F], <br />~f organic <br />ie <br />t and <br />~e nutrient <br />4.

If grazing of domestic livestock is planned, graz ng must be <br />deferred from the newly revegetated areas until vegetation s <br />established (as agreed upon by the Board, the landowner, an the Soil <br />Conservation Service). <br />I'm sorry if any misunderstandings created from our meeting <br />inconvenience.
