All classes of livestock find Western Wheatgrass, a nutritious forage, palatable especially in springtime when forage is green. Western Wheatgrass can stand closer grazing than most native grasses. Western Wheatgrass grows in areas from the Texas Panhandle as far north as Canada and from the West Coast. It can be found growing on hillsides, plains, and often found in old lake beds and well drained bottomlands. It is the most drought tolerant of the cool-season grasses - it requires approximately 10 inches of precipitation as a minimum. It is moderately alkaline tolerant; therefore, it is a good choice for reclamation of surface mine spoil sites. This seed also has approximately 110,000 seeds per pound.

"Barton" is used throughout the United States especially in Texas and the Central Plains States.

Instructions

When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.

If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.

When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
