Hancock's Erosion Control Spring & Summer Seed Mix
Back

We based our Hancock's Erosion Control Seed Mix was developed from department of transportation recommendations, as well as years of farming, grassing and seeding experience. This erosion seed mixture is ideal for seeding roadsides, vacant lots, high-grade slopes, new construction zones, and all other erosion-prone areas. Hancock's Erosion Control seed mixture has proven to effectively control topsoil, stormwater sediment, and dust erosion by the rapid establishment of natural vegetation.

Product Information

  • Application or Use: Erosion Control, Lawn, Pasture, Ground Cover, Livestock Grazing, Cattle Forage, Cover Crop
  • Germination Time: Brown Top Millet - 5 - 7 days, Common Bermuda - 7 - 14 days, Pensacola Bahia - 21 - 30 days; under optimal conditions
  • Growing Locations: Warm Season Zone, Transition Zone
  • Height: Lawn - 3 - 5 inches; Pasture - 8 - 20 inches (It is very important to keep the newly seeded areas watered and mowed to prevent the Brown Top Millet from overcrowding or shading out the young Pensacola Bahia and Common Bermuda seedlings.)
  • Sunlight Requirements: 8+ hours, full sun for best results
  • Tolerance: Excellent erosion control capabilities with drought tolerance, and exceptional insect and disease resistance.
  • When to Plant: Recommended planting time is spring and summer when night time temperatures are consistently 65+ degrees and 3 months prior to first frost.



Our spring and summer Erosion Control grass seed mixture contains 33% Common Un-Hulled Bermuda , 33% Pensacola Bahiagrass and 34% Browntop Millet. The Pensacola Bahiagrass and Common Bermudagrass will interweave with one another, providing the permanent erosion-control vegetation. Pensacola Bahiagrass is a bunch grass, spreading by root stolens under the soil, and the Common Bermuda spreads by surface runners. The two grass varieties coexist very well in most any soil condition. The fast-germinating Browntop Millet will germinate in 2 to 4 days, with proper soil moisture. The Browntop Millet will prevent soil and seed erosion while effectively providing an adequate germination environment for the permanent grass varieties.


Mixtures:

Hancock's Erosion Control Seed Mix contains (unless otherwise requested):
Pensacola Bahiagrass Seed

Seeded at 10 lbs. per 1000 square feet or 100 lbs. per acre this mixture will effectively establish low cost permanent erosion control.

Hancock Farm & Seed Company also offers Custom Blended Seed Mixtures for unique applications such as DOT bid specifications, airports, county and state seeding applications.

Planting Browntop Millet in excess of 50 lbs. per acre can cause more harm than good, as it absorbs all the available resources needed to establish the permanent Bermuda and Bahiagrass. This seed mixture has proven to establish nearly instant ground cover vegetation if properly applied. Hancock's Erosion Control Mixture should be applied on level-ground applications at 100 lbs. per acre. For slopes, drains, ditches, holding areas, washouts, and all other extreme erosion-prone areas, apply 150-250 lbs. per acre. Refer closely to the planting guide provided with your order to ensure a successful seeding and establishment experience.

Great Product

Seed was used to stabilize a canal right of way. Sprouted quickly and uniformly. Was better coverage than a contractors mix previously used from a different company. Staff was knowledgeable and delivery was timely. Glad we found this company. Will definitely purchase again.

Erosion control spring and summer mix

Seed grew in North Texas red dirt clay without adding fertilizer. I just made sure it was watered properly. Took just a few days to grow to 2-3 inches in length.

Erosion Control Spring & Summer Mix Review

I am in North Texas and have tried to lay sod and seed in numerous areas on my property that have not taken. I found this mix and thought what it promised as far as quick sprouts go to keep the soil in place was an interesting claim. I ordered two bags, prepared the soil and built some sprinklers for these hard to reach places on my property. I got the seed in and put out one bag just to be safe and watered everyday for 10 minutes at a time in these problem areas. Within 4 days I had grass! A week and a half later that seed has almost completely taken over! I will be purchasing more. Great product! Grateful to write a positive review considering all the money we’ve spent on these areas. Thanks Hancock Seed!

Erosion Mix

Mainly millet is the only seeds that grew. The other is very patchy and far between.

09/14/2021

Hancock Seed

Are you keeping the millet mowed so as not to shade out the other seeds from germinating? if the millet gets too tall the other seeds will not grow. Thank you for your review and for choosing Hancock Seed!
