Standardized procedures were developed for those charge with establishing a vegetative cover on completed landfills. Special problems associated with growing plants on these sites are discussed, and step-by-step instructions are given for converting a closed landfill to a variety of end uses requiring a vegetative cover. Procedures are outlined for vegetating landfills with either limited or adequate funds.

Key Words: Landfills • reclamation • vegetation • soils • grasses • woody vegetation • erosion • irrigation • mycorrhizal fungi • root systems.
