Excerpt from How to Sow Mustard in Burned Watersheds of Southern California Mustard seed needs only to be broadcast in the burned area. Because the seed germinates and grows readily in loose and ashy soil, no preparation of the ground in advance of sowing nor covering of the seed after sowing is required. This simplifies the job, both in planning the work and in doing the actual sowing. The chief points in planning the sowing of a burn are: the sowing method to use, where and when to sow, and the seed requirements. Depending on the size and location of the job, such details as clear anoes from property owners or from agricultural agents, cooperative work, and release of news stories, may also require attention. Mustard seed can be broadcast either by hand or by aircraft. It must be sown by hand when the most careful distribution of seed is required by a complicated pattern of land ownership. Hand sowing may also be required in isolated burns up to perhaps 500 acres in exo tent, which are so small that aircraft operators would not wish to bid on the job unless it could be done in connection with some nearby larger project. Or it may be done when ample manpower is available but there are no funds for aircraft hire. Sometimes, when seed and hand labor are immediately available, the sowing might be started by hand in order to get critical parts of the burn sown while arrange ments are being made for aircraft service to finish the job.
