Hints for Seeding
- Sow seeds in the fall, or be prepared to water in the summer.
- Avoid weed problems by cultivating soils only lightly.
- For best results, avoid complicated, ambitious seed mixes; sow single species, or mix your own.
- Seed/soil contact is crucial. Rake or tamp seeded areas.
- Lightly mulch seeded soils to prevent crusting and erosion.
- Water seedlings to prevent loss of plants.
- Control invasive weeds or woody plants as needed.
- Do not mow until after seeds have had time to mature.
