Our Erosion Control Prairie Seed Mix for Dry Soils has been specifically designed to provide rapid vegetative cover and long-term soil stabilization. We added 50% more prairie grass, plus lots of fast-growing prairie flowers. Annual Rye nurse crop is included for rapid green-up. This mix provide quick cover in combination with deep-rooted perennials to hold the soil for decades to come. Note:'Always apply the appropriate grade of erosion mat on areas subject to water rosion. Seeded areas that are not subject to erosion will benefit from a cover of clean straw applied at a rate of 1.5 to 2.0 tons per acre. This helps retain soil moisture, increasing germination and plant survival. For well-drained sandy, gravelly and rocky soils.
