Midwest/Northeast Erosion Control Mix

The species in this mix have seedlings that are strong enough to grow through erosion
control fabrics commonly used on steep slopes. These species are appropriate for use
in the Midwest and Northeast US. Sow this mix from mid-spring to mid-September on
a well-prepared site that receives at least one-half day of full sun. Good for hydro-seeding
too. 1 lb. sows 2,500 sq. ft. Use 17 lbs. per acre. 1#
