Hi Susan – Here’s a link to the pages on Prairie Nursery’s website where you’ll find site prep instructions. Especially see the info Lawn Site Preparation:
There are different ways to prepare an area for seeding a prairie garden. Removing sod is one way, but not the best way to eliminate the existing vegetation, because perennial weeds are not likely to be removed and will pose a threat to your planting.
A well prepared site is extremely important to a successful seeding. We will post more on this subject later in the season. Contact Customer service if the article doesn’t answer your questions: cs@prairienursery.com
Please explain the best way to prepare for a prairie garden – broadcast seed over existing grass, clear the sod and amend the soil, etc.
THanks!
