OPTION 2 <br />This option has fewer plants —with reductions primarily in the grasses/sedges—and so would be more sparsely planted. <br />Estimated Cost: $3,001 for 1,566 plugs + 14 small shrubs <br />OPTION 3 <br />This also includes ordering smaller quantities of some species than Option 2. That would result in a more sparse <br />appearance to start with, but would be supplemented with fall seeding. Pros: more potential plants if the germination <br />is good, Cons: up to two years longer for those seedlings to mature; possibility for seed to wash away on the slopes <br />Estimated Cost: $2,296 for 1,212 plugs, 14 small shrubs + 13 seed packets <br />Information Sources <br />Evans, Elaine.
