supporting the planned vegetation over the deficient areas. Apply the material uniformly and in <br />sufficient depth to support the type and quality of vegetative cover for the site. The seedbed <br />shall be well settled and firm, although friable enough that seed can be placed at the seeding <br />depths specified. <br />Seeding recommendation was planned using plants native to the site, or plants that function <br />similarly to plant native to the site. <br />Method of seeding: <br />The best type of seeding equipment is a grass drill with 7-12 inch spacing and capable of <br />planting fluffy seeds, equipped with a seedbox agitator, small seedbox, double disc furrow <br />openers with depth bands, and packer wheels. Drills used will be capable of dropping the seed <br />between the double disk openers and not behind them when planting light, fluffy seed. Fluffy <br />and free-flowing grass seeds will be planted directly into the cover crop residue without <br />additional seedbed preparation. The grass drill should be operated as near to the contour as <br />practical. To accurately maintain seeding depth, drilling speed is limited to 4 to 4.5 mph. <br />Aerial or broadcast seeding will not be used for any range seeding. <br />Grass drills will be adjusted to plant the seed to a depth of not less than '/2 inch and not more than <br />1 inch. <br />Protection of plantings: <br />Protect planted sites from trampling, grazing, rodents, and browsing animals until plants are well <br />established. In heavy use areas, protect critical area plantings with fencing or barriers. <br />Mondragon Reclamation Report Page 2
