1. AN OAT OR WHEAT COMPANION OR NURSE CROP MAY BE USED WITH ANY OF THE
ABOVE PERMANENT SEEDING MIXTURES, AT THE FOLLOWING RATES:
(A) SPRING OATS - ONE-FOURTH TO THREE-FOURTHS BUSHEL PER ACRE
(B) WHEAT - NO MORE THAN ONE-HALF BUSHEL PER ACRE
2. A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR FERTILIZER, SEED, AND MULCH TO WASH EXISTS ON STEEP
BANKS, CUTS, AND IN CHANNELS AND AREAS OF CONCENTRATED
INSTALLATION
1. GRADE THE SITE TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE DRAINAGE.
2. ADD TOPSOIL OR COMPOST MULCH TO ACHIEVE NEEDED DEPTH FOR
ESTABLISHMENT OF VEGETATION. (COMPOST MATERIAL MAY BE ADDED TO IMPROVE
SOIL MOISTURE HOLDING CAPACITY, SOIL FRIABILITY, AND NUTRIENT AVAILABILITY.)
SEEDBED PREPARATION
1. TEST SOIL TO DETERMINE PH AND NUTRIENT LEVELS.
2. APPLY SOIL AMENDMENTS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SOIL TEST AND WORK INTO
THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF SOIL. IF TESTING IS NOT DONE, APPLY 400 TO 600
POUNDS PER ACRE OF 12-12-12 ANALYSIS FERTILIZER, OR EQUIVALENT.
3. TILL THE SOIL TO OBTAIN A UNIFORM SEEDBED. USE A DISK OR RAKE, OPERATED
ACROSS THE SLOPE, TO WORK THE SOIL AMENDMENTS INTO THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR
INCHES OF THE SOIL.
SEEDING
OPTIMUM SEEDING DATES ARE MARCH 1 TO MAY 10 AND AUGUST 10 TO SEPTEMBER
30.PERMANENT SEEDING DONE BETWEEN MAY 10 AND AUGUST 10 MAY NEED TO BE
IRRIGATED. SEEDING OUTSIDE OR BEYOND OPTIMUM SEEDING DATES IS STILL
POSSIBLE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT RESEEDING OR OVERSEEDING MAY BE
REQUIRED IF ADEQUATE SURFACE COVER IS NOT ACHIEVED. RESEEDING OR
OVERSEEDING CAN BE EASILY ACCOMPLISHED IF THE SOIL SURFACE REMAINS WELL
PROTECTED WITH MULCH.
1. SELECT A SEEDING MIXTURE AND RATE FROM TABLE 1. SELECT SEED MIXTURE
BASED ON SITE CONDITIONS, SOIL PH, INTENDED LAND USE, AND EXPECTED LEVEL OF
MAINTENANCE.
2. APPLY SEED UNIFORMLY WITH A DRILL OR CULTIPACKER SEEDER OR BY
BROADCASTING. PLANT OR COVER THE SEED TO A DEPTH OF ONE-FOURTH TO
ONE-HALF INCH. IF DRILLING OR BROADCASTING THE SEED, ENSURE GOOD
SEED-TO-SOIL CONTACT BY FIRMING THE SEEDBED WITH A ROLLER OR CULTIPACKER
AFTER COMPLETING SEEDING OPERATIONS. (IF SEEDING IS DONE WITH A
HYDROSEEDER, FERTILIZER AND MULCH CAN BE APPLIED WITH THE SEED IN A SLURRY
MIXTURE.)
3. MULCH ALL SEEDED AREAS AND USE APPROPRIATE METHODS TO ANCHOR THE
MULCH IN PLACE. CONSIDER USING EROSION CONTROL BLANKETS ON SLOPING AREAS
AND CONVEYANCE CHANNELS
MAINTENANCE
1. INSPECT WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH RAIN EVENT AND AT LEAST ONCE EVERY SEVEN
CALENDAR DAYS UNTIL THE VEGETATION IS SUCCESSFULLY ESTABLISHED.
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUCCESSFUL STAND INCLUDE VIGOROUS DARK GREEN OR
BLUISHGREEN SEEDLINGS WITH A UNIFORM VEGETATIVE COVER DENSITY OF 90
PERCENT OR MORE.
3. CHECK FOR EROSION OR MOVEMENT OF MULCH.
4. REPAIR DAMAGED, BARE, GULLIED, OR SPARSELY VEGETATED AREAS AND THEN
FERTILIZE, RESEED, AND APPLY AND ANCHOR MULCH.
5. IF PLANT COVER IS SPARSE OR PATCHY, EVALUATE THE PLANT MATERIALS CHOSEN,
SOIL FERTILITY, MOISTURE CONDITION, AND MULCH APPLICATION; REPAIR AFFECTED
AREAS EITHER BY OVERSEEDING OR PREPARING A NEW SEEDBED AND RESEEDING.
APPLY AND ANCHOR MULCH ON THE NEWLY SEEDED AREAS.
6. IF VEGETATION FAILS TO GROW, CONSIDER SOIL TESTING TO DETERMINE SOIL PH
OR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY PROBLEMS. (CONTACT YOUR SOIL AND WATER
CONSERVATION DISTRICT OR COOPERATIVE EXTENSION OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE.)
7. IF ADDITIONAL FERTILIZATION IS NEEDED TO GET A SATISFACTORY STAND, DO SO
ACCORDING TO SOIL TEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
8. ADD FERTILIZER THE FOLLOWING GROWING SEASON. FERTILIZE ACCORDING TO SOIL
TEST
RECOMMENDATIONS.
9. FERTILIZE TURF AREAS ANNUALLY. APPLY FERTILIZER IN A SPLIT APPLICATION. FOR
COOL-SEASON GRASSES, APPLY ONE-HALF OF THE FERTILIZER IN LATE SPRING AND
ONE HALFIN EARLY FALL. FOR WARM-SEASON GRASSES, APPLY ONE-THIRD IN EARLY
SPRING, ONE-THIRD IN LATE SPRING, AND THE REMAINING ONE-THIRD IN MIDDLE
SUMMER.
TABLE 1. PERMANENT SEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS
THIS TABLE PROVIDES SEVERAL SEED MIXTURE OPTIONS. ADDITIONAL SEED MIXTURES
ARE AVAILABLE COMMERCIALLY. WHEN SELECTING A MIXTURE, CONSIDER INTENDED
LAND USE AND SITE CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SOIL PROPERTIES (E.G., SOIL PH AND
DRAINAGE), SLOPE ASPECT, AND THE TOLERANCE OF EACH SPECIES TO SHADE AND
DROUGHT.

SITE PREPARATION
_ GRADE THE SITE TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE DRAINAGE.
_ PREPARE A SMOOTH, FIRM SOIL SURFACE AND APPLY SOIL AMENDMENTS. IRRIGATION
IRRIGATE AS NEEDED TO ENSURE ROOTING OF SOD.
MATERIALS
_ SOIL AMENDMENTS - SELECT MATERIALS AND RATES AS DETERMINED BY A SOIL TEST
(CONTACT YOUR COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT OR
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE AND SOIL INFORMATION,
INCLUDING AVAILABLE SOIL TESTING SERVICES.) OR 400 TO 600 POUNDS OF 12-12-12
ANALYSIS FERTILIZER, OR EQUIVALENT.
_ SOD - SELECT A HIGH QUALITY, HEALTHY, VIGOROUS VARIETY WELL ADAPTED TO THE
REGION AND COMPATIBLE WITH THE INTENDED USE.
INSTALLATION
SOD SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED DURING HOT WEATHER, ON DRY SOIL, FROZEN SOIL,
COMPACTED CLAY, LOOSE SAND OR GRAVELLY SUBSTRATE SOILS, AGGREGATE, OR
PESTICIDE TREATED SOIL. THE IDEAL TIME TO LAY SOD IS MAY 1 TO JUNE 1 OR
SEPTEMBER 1 TO SEPTEMBER 30, ALTHOUGH IT CAN BE INSTALLED AS EARLY AS
MARCH 15 IF AVAILABLE OR JUNE 1 TO SEPTEMBER 1 IF IRRIGATED.
SITE PREPARATION
1. APPLY TOPSOIL IF EXISTING SOIL CONDITIONS ARE UNSUITABLE FOR ESTABLISHING
VEGETATION.
2. GRADE THE SITE TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE DRAINAGE AND CREATE A SMOOTH, FIRM
SOIL SURFACE.
3. WHERE APPLICABLE, USE A CHISEL PLOW, DISK, HARROW, OR RAKE TO BREAK UP
COMPACTED SOILS AND CREATE A FAVORABLE ROOTING DEPTH OF SIX TO EIGHT
INCHES.
SOD BED PREPARATION
1. TEST SOIL TO DETERMINE PH AND NUTRIENT LEVELS.
2. IF SOIL PH IS TOO ACIDIC FOR THE GRASS SOD TO BE INSTALLED, APPLY LIME
ACCORDING TO SOIL TEST RESULTS OR AT THE RATE RECOMMENDED BY THE SOD
SUPPLIER.
3. APPLY FERTILIZER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SOIL TEST. IF TESTING WAS NOT
DONE, APPLY 400 TO 600 POUNDS PER ACRE OF 12-12-12 ANALYSIS FERTILIZER, OR
EQUIVALENT.
4. WORK THE SOIL AMENDMENTS INTO THE UPPER TWO TO FOUR INCHES OF SOIL
WITH A DISK OR RAKE OPERATED ACROSS THE SLOPE.
5. RAKE OR HARROW THE AREA TO ACHIEVE A SMOOTH FINAL GRADE AND THEN ROLL
OR CULTIPACK THE SOIL SURFACE TO CREATE A FIRM SURFACE ON WHICH TO LAY
THE SOD.
LAYING THE SOD
1. INSTALL SOD WITHIN THIRTY-SIX HOURS OF ITS CUTTING.
2. STORE THE SOD IN A SHADED LOCATION DURING INSTALLATION.
3. IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LAYING THE SOD, RAKE THE SOIL SURFACE TO BREAK ANY
CRUST. (IF THE WEATHER IS HOT, LIGHTLY IRRIGATE THE SOIL SURFACE PRIOR TO
LAYING THE SOD.)
4. LAY SOD STRIPS IN A BRICK-LIKE PATTERN.
5. BUTT ALL JOINTS TIGHTLY AGAINST EACH OTHER (DO NOT STRETCH OR OVERLAP
THEM), USING A KNIFE OR MASON'S TROWEL TO TRIM AND FIT SOD INTO
IRREGULARLY SHAPED AREAS.
6. ROLL THE SOD LIGHTLY AFTER INSTALLATION TO ENSURE FIRM CONTACT BETWEEN
THE SOD AND SOIL.
7. IRRIGATE NEWLY SODDED AREAS UNTIL THE UNDERLYING SOIL IS WET TO A DEPTH
OF FOUR INCHES, AND THEN KEEP MOIST UNTIL THE GRASS TAKES ROOT.
SLOPE APPLICATION
1. INSTALL THE SOD STRIPS WITH THE LONGEST DIMENSION PERPENDICULAR TO THE
SLOPE.
2. WHERE SLOPES EXCEED A RATIO OF 3:1, STAPLE OR STAKE EACH STRIP AT THE
CORNERS AND IN THE MIDDLE.
CHANNEL APPLICATION
(SODDING PROVIDES QUICKER PROTECTION THAN SEEDING AND MAY REDUCE THE
RISK OF EARLY WASHOUT.)
1. EXCAVATE THE CHANNEL, ALLOWING FOR THE FULL THICKNESS OF THE SOD.
2. LAY THE SOD STRIPS WITH THE LONGEST DIMENSION PERPENDICULAR TO CHANNEL
