Sandy Soil Stabilizer
Sandy soils really blow - the West Mesa in Albuquerque (whew!), Tucson, etc. These grasses can help. Be sure to establish them carefully. Then they will show their strength. Indian Ricegrass, Sand Dropseed, Galleta, Sand Lovegrass and Alkali Sacaton. 3 ft., wild look. Sow anytime except 2 months before the first fall frost. Seeding rate: 1/2 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft.; Reclamation seeding: 10 lbs. per acre.
