The four major forage producing Native Warm Season grasses are Big Bluestem, Indiangrass, Eastern Gama Grass, and Switchgrass, but how can you figure out which grass is right for you? Elizabeth Hamilton dives into the most popular combinations and contexts of these prolific Native Warm Season Grasses.
If you want to incorporate native cool seasons into a pasture with warm season natives for forage year-round, what do you suggest?
It'll depend on where in the country you are located, but I would recommend looking into various wildrye species (Elymus genus).
Agree with the previous comment. also look into Prairie Wedge Grass. It "fills in the gaps" quite nicely and competes well with non-natives.
Can native grasses be baled?
@@deeko175Of course! Most of the time you’d want to bale at the boot stage of growth for warm season natives. Remember, before we introduced nonnative grasses we were haying and baling natives for many years.
How bout the NC area?
I would like to know about horse compatibility with native plants.
I’m trying to figure out which native grass will grow best in Wallingford Ky ?
All of these species would do well in your area. If your soils are paritcularly wet or dry, that might lead me to choose one over the other. However given the right soil and enough sun, any of these species would do fine.
why u spraying poison on your foods food?
So you're not even interested in "organic"? That makes me wonder how it was possible for native prairie grasses to even survive at all 300 years ago. And 30,000 years ago.
Actually we are very interested in organic and regenerative agriculture, but it often doesn't look like it because we speak of herbicides. The key to success of a native planting is competition control because the small seedlings take time to develop into the mighty plants tht they become and can't compete well at that stage of life. Annual plants are a problem, but perennial plants are a bigger problem. We consider herbicides to be a tool to use in native establishments and while it is effective it is by no means the only method. We have a whole establishment timeline on our website dedicated to doing conversions without herbicides. hamiltonnativeoutpost.com/non-herbicide-establishment-plan/
Thats too bad, I liked the video until you said spray herbicide. Not necessary & NOT safe. No matter how many Scientists Monsanto paid to say its safe. 👎
100% agree👍
Herbicides have their time and place. I agree that it shouldn’t be overused though.
🔥 fixes it just fine
Used like chemotherapy, herbicides have their place.
How dare you you question the integrity of Monsanto! They have made such wonderful chemicals like agent orange! lol
