"Great Grass" Grass Only Mix
8 Grasses / #1373

Try this heavy dose of prairie grasses when you're not quite ready to splurge with wildflowers (forbs). Meets Iowa NRCS requirements for grass only and it's an excellent choice if some 2,4-D spraying needs to be done later to eliminate some nasty perennial weeds. Adding fifty pounds nitrogen per acre after its established makes a thick under and upper story to filter out dust and noise along a busy road while adding a pleasing asthetic look. It's deer friendly too, because deer love to hide and sleep in thick stands of prairie grasses. (include?): For increased winter cover Switchgrass can be purchased separately from the individual species price list and added to this mix.
