Planting Switchgrass with NO Chemicals! Will this work??

I'm running a trial with a Northern Switchgrass blend from WHS to see if I can establish a stand of switchgrass without using chemicals. I had an area along my food plot that needed screening that I had Winter Rye planted for a cover crop. I broadcast seeded the switchgrass into the standing Rye, then I came along with my 8' Goliath crimper and made two passes on the rye. This crimped the rye very well and laid the rye very flat. Stay tuned for more updates.
Thanks for watching!-Seth

Can’t wait to see the outcome with the switch

How much water per Silky Willow shrub is recommended in case of a drought per week?

[@big_rock_trees]

2-5 gallons per shrub per week if you are not receiving any rainfall. If you have sandier soils then I would water a little bit more to ensure those shrubs don't dry out. If you have heavier clay soils that hold water, then that 2-5 gallons per week will be just fine!
