Drill seeding can also be done between late August and late September, but because <br />fall moisture is often unreliable, seeding at this time may not produce the best results. <br />If the seed is to be broadcast, the proper seeding time is between mid-December and the end of <br />February (level areas and all slopes). <br />WEED CONTROL: Weeds will undoubtedly be a problem, especially on this area. <br />Control is best achieved by not encouraging them in the first place. This will be accomplished by not <br />fertilizing and not imgating. Wood chip mulch would also help control the weeds, by reducing <br />nitrogen levels in the soil, but is not necessary if other control methods are used. Chemical control <br />should be used only for those species that cannot be controlled with cultural or mechanical means. <br />Noxious weeds to watch for include Canada Thistle (Circium arvense), any of the knapweeds <br />(Centauria spp.), and Hoary cress (Cardaria draba). These are known to live in the vicinity and may <br />invade this site if given an opportunity. <br />Daniels Sand Pit #2 -Little Johnson Amendment - M-~s~3-oor Exhibit E Page 5 <br />
