Dune grasses have been available from dealers for some time, but Seneca says he's been unable to find anyone interested in supplying landowers with marsh grass. So he has begun to develop nurseries to produce the grasses—one near Lockwood Folly In- let, one near Beaufort, and one near Sunset Beach. He plans a fourth nur- sery in the Manteo area next year. Seneca is training county agricul- tural extension agents to manage nur- series and provide landowners with the plants and information they need to start their own plantings. Not all plantings succeed. But Broome says slow-release fertilizers im- prove the odds for a good stand of grass. In some test sites, he has found shortages of nitrogen and phosphorus, which he says should be added to the furrows when the grasses are planted.
