Time of application should be <br /> immediately prior to seed ing. If nitrogen and phosphorus are applied, a <br /> native hay or straw mulch will have to be spread and crimped into the soil at <br /> a rate of 4000 lbs per ac re after fertilizing, Mulch should stick 6" out of <br />' the soil. These measures will help control wind and water erosion until grass <br /> becomes established. <br />' Weed control should be maintained on the site during grass establishment. <br />Planted sites shall be protected from trampling and grazing until plants are <br />well established. In heavy-use areas, critical area plantings should be <br />' protected by fencing or barriers. <br />No grazing should be allowed until there is a lush stand and none before at <br />' least two growing seasons. Total area to be seeded should include all <br />disturbed areas. <br />At the end of two years the success of the seeding should be evaluated. If it <br />' is determined that an insufficient stand of grass is present the area should <br />be reseeded.
