-- “Transplant plots were prepared by placing strips of milar plastic or lengths of agromat on top of non-native sod about a month prior to introducing native plants.” The milar blocked sunlight and this caused the Eurasian sod to dry and die. 

-- “The non-native grass sod was completely removed from the beds, leaving a slight depression into which individual plants were placed using a standard bulb planter.” 

-- “After the transplants were in the ground, they were watered for two consecutive days and kept moist for two weeks.” 

-- During the growing season, volunteers monitor survival of transplants, flowering and seed production.
