Mix 185 (Northern Native Grass Pipeline, Utility, Roadway and Construction Cover Mix) is designed for the environmental conditions of the Northern Tier States in partial shade sites. The amount of seed of each species in the mix has been calculated using the number of seeds per pound of each species factored by establishment parameters. Mix 185 contains 10 native grasses.
Rate: 6.30-9.00 PLS pounds/acre.
We recommend including a nurse crop for this mix. For fall through spring, we recommend 20 to 32 pounds of oats per acre or 2 to 4 Pounds of annual rye per acre. For summer, we recommend 6 to 8 pounds of brown top millet per acre.
