bSeed mixes: All seed mixes are listed as a per cent of mix by weight.
1, 2 = General: mixtures suitable for a variety of sites.
3 = Drought, rainshadow, south exposure, coarse-textured soil.
4 = Wetland, ditches or poorly drained areas.
5 = Alpine, higher elevations with heavy snowpack. Use a cold-hardy variety of orchardgrass, such as Kay or Arctic.
6 = Legume, moist sites, maximum N-fixation for planted trees.
7 = Trail, predominantly small-seeded species to reduce application rates for broadcast seeding on backspar trails, skid roads and landings.
