5. Q: How wide an area is to be seeded and mulched? By my calculations you would need to seed and mulch a path 18' wide to get the total in the schedule???

A: See answer Question 4.

6. Q: The fertilizer and mulch rates are listed at 10 # per 100 square feet. That is approximately 2.5 tons to the acre!! We rarely put more than 400lbs per acre on our good farmland. Unless I miscalculated the rate called for would probably kill the grass.

955.08 (to a loose depth of 1”-2”).
