The grass seed should be planted with a grass drill equipped with an <br />agitator. If a drill is not available, the seed can be broadcast <br />seeded, but the seeding rate must be doubled. The seeding should be <br />done in the fall of the year generally in the month of November. If <br />this ie impractical then seeding can be done in April. Care moat be <br />taken to prevent the planting of the seed to deep; the seed should <br />not be aqy deeper than one inch with a preferred depth of one half <br />inch. <br />4• Mulch should be applied to the reseeded area inorder to help <br />stabilize the soil and slow erosion. The mulch used should be <br />equivalent to 1000 lbe/acre of cereal grain straw. If a straw or <br />• hay mulch is used, some method of anchoring should be included, <br />such as netting or crimping the straw into the soil. <br />5. All areas should be fertilized Juat prior to seeding. A soil test <br />should be performed to determine the proper amount of fertilizer. <br />In lieu of a soil test an application of not lees than $0 lbe/A. <br />of nitrogen applied as part of a complete fertilizer with an analysis <br />ratio of not lees then 10-6-1; (N-P-%). <br />If the area is to be successfully relcaimed, the area should be pro- <br />tected from grazing and disturbance until plants are established. <br />If you have arty questions or need more assistance, please contact me. <br />Sincerely <br />Richard ~ Mulli7 <br />Range Conservationist <br />• <br />-2- <br />
