Nearing the end of the project comes the final seeding, you open the bag and a mix of seed with different colors, shapes, and sizes fall from the bag into the hopper.  Ever wonder how those mixes are made? Ever wanted to make them yourself?  We discuss the seed interview that should be conducted for every project to ensure your vision is realized.  This interview looks at 10-15 questions that will allow you to pick the appropriate plants for your sight and the rates at which you should plant them.  We discuss how site conditions, plant characteristics, planting methods, and project goals affect your seed mix design.  So, come learn how to make a mix and fulfill your vision for the future by planning today.
