[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In the summer of 2006, 250,000 cubic yards of sand were pumped onto Elders Point East, and 700,000 plants were hand-planted, including salt marsh cordgrass, salt hay, and spike grass.
These include peat moss, animal manures, shredded leaves, other mulches, compost, recycled garden and household waste (grass clippings, coffee grounds, vegetable peels, chopped corn cobs, hay, salt hay, sawdust, seaweed, chopped stalks, straw, wood ash, the list goes on).
Voles make their runs under the thick cover of salt hay grasses and dine on the tender portions of their stems and leaves.
