<br /> <br />All seeding operations should be across slope and seeded at 1/2 <br />to 3/4 inch depth. If the seed is broadcast, the above rates <br />should be doubled and the seed incorporated into the surface of <br />the soil by raking or harrowing to a maximum depth of 3/4 inch. <br />After seeding, the area should be mulched with a minimum of 4,000 <br />lbs. of good, clean dry straw or native hay. The mulch should be <br />uniformly spread and then 'crimped' into the soil. Again, <br />'crimping' should be across the slope. Mulching will protect the <br />soil from erosion and assure rapid establishment of the grasses. <br />Weeds should be monitored and controlled to assure stand <br />establishment. Weeds rob much needed moisture from the grass <br />plants. <br />These soils are not generally suited to the establishment of <br />trees and shrubs. A.n on site investigation is needed to determine <br />the feasibility and possible tree and shrub species. <br />I hope this information will be satisfactory to your needs.
