Answer to Question 1

After seeding, the use of mulch provides a favorable environment for seed germination. Mulch
conserves soil moisture and prevents soil erosion. This is extremely important because adequate
surface moisture must be present for seed germination.



Answer to Question 2

Sprigging is the planting of a section of a rhizome or stolon, referred to as a sprig. A sprig may be up
to 6 to 8 inches in length. For successful establishment, a section of the sprig with several nodes must
be properly placed into the soil. Stolonizing is similar to sprigging, in that 6- to 8-inch sections of
rhizomes or stolons are used. However, in stolonizing, sprigs are broadcast onto the soil surface.
