So far we have sunk about 12 bales of hay, and transplanted a lot of grass.
We built the blind on the edge of marsh, front has good vegetation but the back was trampled in the building process.
Sooo had the bright idear to build a "raised bed" for the Salt Meadow Marsh Grass behind the blind about 2ft off the ground to help break up the blind and give us 2 levels of grass.
We built the frame for the "raised bed" then layed down grated fiberglass.
Then we laid burlap on top grated fiberglass and used 2"X6" for the outside frame to hold the vegetation.
After the frame was built I spread out a block of peat moss, wet hay and mud on the burlap before we transplanted the grass.
The goal is to grass this blind once and hopefully the grass will take root and grow.
All that being said I will prob never build a platform blind again, its good for the kids and comfortable but it's a mother #### to grass.
I will try to post some pics later.
