Hi-

I'm working on designing some low energy erosion control earthworks on Navajoland in Northern Az. I'm looking for help with selecting the seed mix for the erosion control structures that will be placed in a pasture where the headcut treatment will be and in the gullies and arroyos where rock earthworks are going to be built.

Also consider posting this in the regional forum for the SW, you might get more answers there.

I would check with the local feed and seed businesses as they will not what works best for your area and will sell those seeds.

Here are some threads that also might give you some ideas:
