page 2 Seedbed preparation: This includes needed tillage operations and fertilizer applications as needed. Soil samples should be taken and the fertilizer recommendation from the test followed. A firm, weedfree seedbed needs to be made prior to seeding. This may require any number of operations depending on soil conditions, Moisture, and other climatic factors. Seeding: The attached sheet will provide you with information on species selection and seeding rates to be followed. Various agencies may require different species depending on desired end results. Mulching: All seeded areas should be mulched to conserve moisture and reduce soil temperatures, thus helping to insure vegetation establishment. The mulch should be grass hay or straw and should be free of weed seed. The mulch should be applied at a rate of 4000 lbs. per acre. The material should be"tacked" down by slight disking, chemical means or otherwise kept from blowing away. Weed control: Competitive weeds should be controlled by mechanical or chemical means to insure desired species establishment on the site. If you have not already contacted the various city, county, state and federal agencies, you will need to do so. This includes but it not limited to: Town of Parachute Planning Department, P.O.
