Non-irrigated, Decorative, Erosion Control, Low Fuel
It is a balanced blend of erosion controlling, decorative, low water
use native grass and flowers for revegetation of disturbed sandy soil
and slopes in the 261Ba subsection of California. There is a fast
annual grass to protect soil, legumes to add nitrogen and organic
matter yet allow slower perennials to do their permanent cover in
years to come.
The mix will require some consideration and cost be allocated for
initial maintenance primarily weed control, 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. Yearly mowing and fertilizing may be
done depending on esthetics of owners.
