I have a new pond dam that was seeded @ 400#/ac with turf-type tall fescue last October. The soil is heavy clay. A thin stand of grass germinated during the fall. The pond is about three feet from being full. I would like to use vegetation to hold the soil on the face of the dam. What steps should I take (fertilization, seeding the same or other varieties of vegetation, etc.) to acheive well-established vegetation down to the water line?
