Grass Mixture Better For Seeding on Waterways and Dams
District Soil Conservationist Herman Norwood explains that seeding a mixture of native grasses on waterways and dams yields better results than a single species. Mixtures tolerate varying soils, provide wildlife habitat, and resist herbicides. Seeding windows vary by grass type and season, with topsoil mulch aiding establishment. Contact the Soil Conservation Service in Ottawa for details.

Topsoiling Waterways for Grass Stands in dams and ditches
District Conservationist notes topsoiling aids grass stands on waterways and new dams. Application of mulch and proper seed mixtures after topsoil helps establish vegetation where erosion risk exists, especially where subsoil is low in organic matter or shale is exposed.
Topsoiling in Farm Construction Improves Erosion Control
Farmers invest in topsoil over subsoil during construction to ensure grass cover and reduce future maintenance. Proper planning with the contractor, stockpiling soil, and applying at least six inches of topsoil over subsoil are advised. A Kansas dam example shows better vegetation and erosion resistance where topsoil was used. USDA Soil Conservation Service can provide guidance. Ottawa office at 209 W. 2nd, Call 242-1109.
