Hi I havnt posted on here in awhile. been busy, as always.

Heres the hill/area we want to restore.
The area is at the merrium station Community garden in St paul MN.


The weeds are mainly russan sage and brome grass. Dave our beekeeper and funder of the project wants to hogmow the mess and cover with black tarp for 1 year before planting. what do you think?, comments?, questions?, ect.

Apologies, can't offer advice, just want to say that looks more like an Artemisia than Salvia. Unlikely Russian sage (Salvia yangii) is hardy in your zone. Mugwort, perhaps?

hmm i guess i dont know. thanks i was told it was russain sage. Poistive ID would be great. Some weeds like goutweed are next to impossible to get rid of.

We wanted to do Wild sunflower species , silphium asters, big bluestem, early figwort, milkweeds


stuff of that nature. .

Maybe do a burn, if unable a burn (fire dept cooperation needed) than mow down and go with the cardboard coverage and mulch leaves on top.

Thanks I will pass this on to our beekeeper

looks like its good to go. I'm excited to see what we come up with.

I got the proposal last night I'll post it on here to see what you guys think.

heres the project

No project showing.
