To evaluate methods of establishing useful forage species on surface mine spoil, eight species were seeded alone or in mixtures at two locations, one in eastern and one in western Kentucky. The species were tall fescue, Caucasian bluestem, big bluestem, Indiangrass, switchgrass, crown vetch, and two different lespedezas. Five seeding methods were employed, including mulching in combination with broadcasting or drilling the seed. Caucasian bluestem, seeded alone, produced the most consistent stand at both locations.
