The California Habitat Mix is a meticulously crafted blend of native grasses designed to bring the essence of the Californian landscape right to your doorstep. Perfect for sustainable landscaping, restoration projects, and creating a vibrant habitat for local wildlife, this mix embodies the beauty and resilience of California’s diverse ecosystems. We have formulated the perfect mix of grasses that will thrive in these conditions using little irrigation.

Our California Native Erosion Control Mix is a thoughtfully curated blend of native grasses and legumes designed to provide effective erosion control while supporting local ecosystems. Comprising California Brome (Bromus carinatus), Small Fescue (Vulpia microstachys), and Foothill Clover (Trifolium ciliolatum), this mix is ideal for stabilizing soils in California’s diverse terrains, including slopes, disturbed sites, and areas prone to erosion.

Key Benefits:

Effective Erosion Control

• California Brome establishes rapidly, offering quick ground cover to protect against soil erosion. Its robust root system helps anchor soil on slopes and disturbed areas.

• Small Fescue contributes to soil stabilization with its fine roots, enhancing the soil structure and reducing runoff.

Adapted to California’s Climate

• All species in this mix are native to California, ensuring adaptability to local soil types and climatic conditions.

• These plants are drought-tolerant once established, making them suitable for areas with limited water availability.

Supports Local Biodiversity

• Foothill Clover, a native legume, enriches the soil by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.

• The mix provides habitat and forage for native pollinators and wildlife, promoting ecological balance.

Ideal Applications:

• Slope stabilization and erosion control projects

• Restoration of native grasslands and habitats

• Roadside and utility corridor revegetation

• Post-fire landscape recovery

Establishment and Maintenance:

• Seeding Time: Optimal seeding occurs in the fall to take advantage of winter rains, promoting germination and establishment.

• Seeding Rate: Apply at a rate of 20–30 pounds per acre, depending on site conditions and desired coverage.

• Maintenance: Minimal maintenance required once established. Occasional mowing or controlled burns can help maintain plant vigor and control invasive species.

By choosing the California Native Erosion Control Mix, you’re investing in a sustainable solution that not only protects your land from erosion but also enhances the local environment by supporting native plant and animal species.

Help your plants achieve their greatest potential by applying Am 120 Standard mycorrhizal inoculant. Contains 100% Glomus intraradice. This mycorrhizal fungus has been thoroughly tested and found to be effective in plant establishment and growth enhancement as well as being adaptive to widely varying growing conditions.

Glomus intraradices has been used successfully throughout a broad range of environments from boreal sites in northern Canada to tropical sites in South America. Trials conducted by the USGS on a broad range of native western plant species determined that Glomus intraradices either improved germination or increased biomass development in over 70% of the species tested.

How Does it Work?

Mycorrhizal fungi, or mycorrhiza, are specialized fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants. Their very name describes the role these fungi play. “Myco” means fungus while “rhiza” means root. This “fungus root” makes its home in and on the roots of 90% of all plant species. Mycorrhiza acts as extensions of the plant’s root system, making roots more efficient at absorbing water and nutrients. Just as the lining of our small intestine is covered with millions of microscopic finger-like villus, mycorrhiza form hyphae which line plant roots, increasing the surface area of the root up to 1,000 times. Not only do mycorrhizal fungi boost the plant’s vigor by increasing the surface area of its roots, mycorrhiza also produces enzymes that dissolve nutrients that would otherwise remain inaccessible in the soil. In return, the plant provides the fungi with life-sustaining carbohydrates. This mutually beneficial relationship is a win-win for both the plant and the fungi.

Application Rates

Broadcasting: 1-2 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. or 60 lbs. per acre.

Buckwheat is an introduced, broadleaf annual commonly grown for its grain-like seeds. It’s also commonly used as a cover crop to suppress weeds and as a green manure when worked into the soil. Buckwheat prefers light to medium-textured soils with good drainage. Requires adequate moisture and is not tolerant of temperature extremes. Can also be used in pollinator gardens and wildlife food plots.
