Book excerpt: "Intended to encourage economical and functional prairie plant communities in the Midwest, this guide provides a formula for success for all but the most extreme conditions; it outlines the procedures and problems involved in reconstructing tallgrass prairies on large fields or in small backyards. In chapters on seed selection and harvest, site selection, soil preparation, seeding, post-planting mowing, burning, and growth and development - along with color photographs that are both beautiful and instructive - Kurtz presents a step-by-step guide to creating diverse and well-established prairie plant communities."--BOOK JACKET.
