<br />E. Erosion Control:
<br />1. Cover crop will be sown along with the native grasses.
<br />2. Erosion blanket (S150bn all areas.
<br />F. Plants and Planting:
<br />1. Optionally, following the implementation of any erosion control measures, the planting will be further
<br />diversified with native wildflower and/or grass plants (plugs or 4-inch pots). These will be planted
<br />individually in appropriate microhabitats throughout, or in designated areas of the project. The plants
<br />used will consist primarily of species other than those previously seeded.
<br />
<br />2. Upon the property owner's request, PRI can increase or decrease the number of live plants used.
<br />Increasing the number of live plants used will increase overall cost but help increase plant diversity
<br />(certain species are only available as live plants) and improve the prairie's overall aesthetic by helping to
<br />establish sooner. Lowering the number of plugs will reduce overall cost but increase the time for some
<br />flowers to bloom and decrease overall plant diversity.
<br />3. Plant a total of 420 plugs.
<br />
<br />4. Plant a total of 54 4-inch pots (or similar sized pots).
<br />
<br />5. Plant a total of 9 1-gallon pots. (Ferns)
