Ok - I kicked off a switchgrass project earlier this year, but things seem to have fallen behind and I am trying to determine if I should still move forward or simply wait.
I have roughly 3 acres that I burned and removed saplings from in late spring. I also recently mowed this area again, but I have not sprayed anything yet.
I have the seed now and I have the chemicals I will use. My plan was/is to broadcast the seed and not drill (to avoid the cost as I have to pay someone to do it). I really don't want to plow and disc and bring all that seed to the surface either. I have read LC's threads on switchgrass and I think I may simply continue to mow and spray this year to kill off as much as I can and then frost seed and manage per LC's wisdom. The other part of me HATES waiting and having 3 acres of nothing......if I "go for it" now my plan would be to spray gly and broadcast the seed ASAP. Sort of a throw and spray (like throw and mow) practice.
With it being almost mid June......do I "go for it" or wait and follow LC's advice????
