Some folks know


and some are still learning

We've been trying to convert our cool season pastures to more wildlife friendly native warm season grasses.   I think the exotic cool season grasses like fescue will always be a management problem.  Today we sprayed with a herbicide that targets grasses.   Timing is critical.   We wanted to spray while the cool were actively growing and the warm season grasses were not.   The spray we used was called Select Plus.   It is not supposed to kill broadleaf plants.   If the spray works the way we hope it does, we should have an incredible bloom of wild flowers.   Diversity of flora and fauna is key to creating a healthy environment.
