Description
Plant after buckthorn removal to restore native grasses and provide fuel for prescribed burning. After buckthorn seedlings are managed, this mix can be enhanced with a forb component. Each seed mix order will ship with an appropriate amount of cover crop seed for the project area. Species of cover crop seed will depend on the time of year the product is ordered – if you order ahead and have a delayed planting time in mind, please indicate planting season (spring, summer, fall, or winter) in a note at check out.
