The rate will be <br />doubled when send is broadcast rather than drilled. The rates should be <br />raised accordingly to compensate for less than 100 Pure Live Seed. <br />:tulch netting will be needed vhen slopes are above 25 Percent. Depending on <br />the extent of the reclaimed area, the soil should be tested ¢ad fertilizer <br />applied accordingly, at the time of seeding. <br />Reclamation end site preparation operations should be carried out on the <br />coatour as much as possible. Diversion to prevent offsite~surface water from <br />entering the reclaimed ayes should be installed. <br />Topsail should be applied to at least a 12 inch depth, and bound to the <br />materiel beneath by ripping. A good smooth, firm seedbed should be prepared <br />by diecing and harrowing. Seed should not De drilled until the seedbed is <br />firm enough to insure a proper seeding depth (1/2 to 3/4 inches). <br />Exceptions are on steep arses where the surface should be left in a somewhat <br />roughed state or on sandy soils where seed can bo planted deeper (1 to 1-1/2 <br />inches). <br />Late fall is the optimum time to seed, although early spring ie eatigfactory <br />if seed can be drilled early enough. Seeding shouldn~t be performed after <br />early spring unless irrignted. , <br />
