Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Soil questions can I leave the clay banks uncovered

James,

Most places that sell seed can also provide seeding rates. I grew up in a small town and the feed and grain store is where we always got our seed. Keep in mind if you are planting wheat, rye and oats that you only need enough of each to cover 1/3 of the area. Unless you want to do this twice, I would go ahead and plant whatever grass you will be using as permanent cover at the same time. If conditions are not right this fall for germination, it will lie dormant and sprout in the spring. The wheat and oats are annuals and will die out. The rye will survive if you use a perennial variety.
