MNL Septic Mound Mix

From: $55.00

Designed to provide stable, ground cover in poor quality septic mound soils 

Specially designed with great species for poor-soil septic mound and drainfield areas.  The University of Minnesota recommends native grasses and wildflowers for septic mounds to improve soil stability and providing a cover to limit frost depths. 

Seed mixes in our 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 1/4 acre package sizes come with native grasses, wildflowers, cover crop, and a filler (for easier spreading) all pre-mixed. Orders in 1/2 acre or 1 acre+ sizes come with grasses, wildflowers, and cover crop bagged separately for drill seeding or broadcast seeding.

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.
