This is a process that requires patience and diligent maintenance to prevent <br />the growth of weeds during the establishment period. <br />Year 1 - Seedlings develop roots and plants grow and inch or two <br />Year 2 - Mowing to control weed growth <br />Year 3 - Natives begin to reign (while continuing to discourage the growth of weeds) <br />* The recommended seeding rate is 0.25 lb. per 1000 square feet, although it does not hurt to augment that rate if so desired.
