Hello all;

Been a long Summer away from the Forum completing my projects on the spread, I hope all of you are doing well. Finished up my final two ponds for growing out SMB and crossing BG and RES and will have the well work finished in two weeks that will fill and keep ponds topped off. I will post pics eventually - but so far so good.

I have been trying to search for this thread, and I'm fairly certain it exists: I am in Zone 5 and need grass cultivar suggestions for seeding all my dams and other areas devoid of plant life following a couple months of construction.

I am surrounded by little bluestem, brome and wildflowers on my 44 acres of virgin prairie - but need something quickly in place for my dams and around the ponds as I'm experiencing some minor erosion issues.

Slope is 2:1 so I'm thinking I'll need some straw mats as well - was hoping for suggestions on grass types anyone can recommend or has had good experience with.

I'm also concerned I won't be able to water to help germination process...any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

TJ
