Southern California Inland Valleys Mix
Bioregional cover-USDA Ecological Sub Section M262Bc

A non-irrigated, erosion controlling, low fuel mix

It is a balanced blend of erosion controlling, decorative, low water use native grass, forbs and shrubs for revegetation of disturbed soil slopes in the M262Bc subsection of California. There is a quick start annual grass to protect soil, legumes to add nitrogen and organic matter yet allow the slower establishing perennials to do their permanent, cover in years to come.

The establishment of this system will require some consideration and cost be allocated for initial maintenance primarily weed control, and the horticultural problem associated with the establishment of a perennial grass on subsoil. This problem can be addressed chemically or culturally. The common cultural practice of mowing, fertilizing and irrigation has been used successfully in the establishment of perennial crops.

The inclusion of HYDROPOST (has been used successfully in the establishment of perennial grass on low organic subsoil ) is an important amendment along with the mycorrhizae inoculant in the Hydroseed specification to address the horticultural problem in the installation phase of this system.
