.. ~~ <br /> <br />1. Weed and seed free grass hay or grain straw should be used at <br />an application rate of 4,000 lbs./ac. of air dry material. At. <br />least 50$ of the mulch by weight shall be 10 inches or more in <br />length. Anchor mulch immediately after distributing with mulch <br />crimper (straight disc). <br />2. Application of feedlot or barnyard manure must be of a type that <br />has 60°G or more, by weight, heavy chunks 5 inches or more in <br />diameter. The minimum rate of application shall be 30 tons per <br />e~cre immediately before or after seeding. <br />3. Mulch netting. Netting <br />spaced not more than 10 <br />loose soil locate pins <br />4. Asphalt. <br />5. Jute netting. <br />6. Excelsior mat. <br />must be firmly held in place with pins <br />linear feet apart. In sandy or extremely <br />closer. <br />7. Wood chips. <br />5. Defer seeded area from all use by livestock for at least a two year <br />period or until grass is established. This may require fencing of <br />the critical area. <br />Seedbed Preparation for Verv Steep Slopes <br />1. Cut ridges, diversions or channels across slope to catch excessive <br />water on slope and divert it off of disturbed area. Spacing of <br />these will depend on degree of slope and intensity of rain. The <br />steeper the slope, the greater the intensity of rains the closer <br />the ridges, diversions or channels. Broadcast seed and drag, spike <br />tooth harrow, chain logs, anything that will scarify soil and cover <br />seed with some soil. <br />2. Run bulldozer with tracks up and down slope. The track will leave <br />depressions perpendicular to the slope. These depressions will catch <br />the seed that is broadcast, hold any precipitation on the scope and <br />help control the movement of soil off the disturbed area. Broadcast <br />seed before equipment goes over area .for this final operation. The <br />movement of the equipment will tend to cover seed with soil. <br />3• Leave area without the final smoothing operation. Leave the surface <br />rough with ridges and depressions. This will slow the runoff down to <br />allow i[ to percolate into soil and reduce erosion. Broadcast seed <br />and drag, spike tooth harrow, chain logs, anything that will scarify <br />soil and cover seed with some soil. <br />If site is to extreme for these practices, broadcast seed over area and <br />cover with mulch or net will be needed. Composted wood chips mulch is <br />very well suited for mountain sites, since a supply of chips is readily <br />available in these areas. These will help reduce erosion and loss of soil <br />moisture through evaporation. <br />
