The depth of seeding will be <br />approximately 0.25 to 0.50 of an inch. Drill row spacing will be set approximately 7 to <br />12 inches. The drill will then be towed across the seed bed to complete the planting <br />operation. Drill seeding is proposed to take place following the completion of final <br />seedbed preparation techniques. <br />Hay straw mulch shall be used upon completion of seeding to prevent erosion from wind <br />and rain. It shall be broadcast and crimped to an anchor depth of 3-4 inches at a rate of <br />40001bs. per acre. <br />
