It's so disturbing to see a sweet woman like this who understands the importance and beauty of restoring prairie grasses. Yet in the next paragraph she talks about the importance of "carbon sequestration"... and that mitigates "climate change". She is just so wrong about that... so, so wrong. CO2 in the atmosphere is not even remotely close to being a cause of "global warming", which itself is absolute bunk as well. All this misunderstanding, coming from a Professor in the Dept of Entomology. Our education system has become a disaster. Yet I love to see native prairie grasses just as much as she does. But without falling for all the false science. In fact, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is just .04%. That's only 4% of 1%. And yet plants and forests all over the world are starving for CO2 more and more each year.

I have little bluestem in my rain garden. I collected its seeds this year and plan on adding them to a brand new garden next year, along with other native grasses.
@KurtUhlir 2 ай бұрын
Is top sowing little bluestem okay or does it have to be covered in? Also, what time of the year can you spread the seed?

Assuming your site is well-prepped in advance (vegetation removed/cleared, clean and weed-free, the site should be firm and have accumulated soil moisture. If you're broadcasting, you should ensure good soil contact without burying the seed. A light raking or rolling, for example, is recommended to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. Seed should be planted ⅛ to ¼ inch deep. It is better to plant too shallow than too deep.

Hi Kurt- seeding now in your area - into November potentially, is great. Seeds get a stretch of cold stratification and a head start in the Spring. Graminoids differ from Forbs - and each has its unique preferences, but a Fall/Winter seeding is often a good choice. If seeding in Spring - getting seed down in March is a good general recommendation.

@@ChrisKohtz thank you. That is helpful. I have about 2 acres that I would like to try make predominantly little blue stem and then some areas elsewhere on the property that might total a 1/2 acre. Finding a cost effective source right now is difficult so I may have to target spring.

Shame my liatris didn’t pick up this year. It did well last season! 🤔 I tried stratifying liatris seeds in the fridge for 30 days and looked for any signs of pregermination. None converted! Same with Fireworks goldenrod, tall thistle and columbine! 👎

All roadside easements and medians should be planted with pollinator plants. Is MN doing this and or does MN have an incentive program for land owners to in essence, grow pollinator plants? I was told that WI has such a plan but the Republican legislature is holding up the funding..
@prairieresto Жыл бұрын
MN DOT has an integrated roadside vegetation department and they would probably know.

It has not been proved. Did you just finish your two million year observation sample? The time span necessary to prove such a phenomenon, would require an active experiment lasting millions of years, to replicate findings and show repeatability.

@@CampingforCool41 Proven by whom and how? Just because a theory is repeated often doesn't mean it has been proven. It is IMPOSSIBLE for something simple to evolve into something more complex. Things devolve into lesser and then disappear. To my mind it is more beautiful to know and understand that we were designed and created for a purpose and eternal destiny.

If I have predominantly Johnson grass with some little blue stem here and there.. how do I help the blue stem take over?
@prairieresto Жыл бұрын
Repeated mowing to prevent the grass from going to seed will help tremendously. This can also be achieved through grazing. Spot spraying more determined strands may also prove helpful. Re-seeding the bluestem into these areas as they open up can also help.

Generally stratification is not necessary. The preferred pretreatment recommendation would be scarification. In central Texas it would be my suggestion to plant yet this fall if possible. Thank you for planting native.
