[@casaqu1]

could you bale it instead of burn it? could use for construction or bedding for animals

[@stevenjantzen8462]

Did you spray atrazine on the miscanthus and the switchgrass both right after planting?

[@TeamRadical]

I did on this spot.

Do u know the backpack mixture of Simazine ? Like for example I have a 4 gallon backpack - how much Simazine to water?

[@aaroneberle9020]

8 oz of simazine per gallon

Thanks a lot man for posting that!!! My realworld miscanthis will be here next month! Question; since I’m only doing miscanthis and no switchgrass for my screen, do you think I should still PTO till the seed bed or just use the tree planter alone and then go over the top of the ground with atrazine immediately afterwards to be good enough to get it started?!? Thanks again

Great question and that's totally up to you. However we've noticed better growth from the get go if the soil is worked first. It's not the end of the world if you don't though! Definitely want to make sure that the rhizomes are covered. Let us know if you have any other questions and best of luck!!

Miscanthus is invasive, are you going to regret it later? We are looking at a property that’s been neglected for a while and it’s displaced a lot of native plants for the wildlife. It does make a fine looking screen.

Different types of Miscanthus are however the giant Miscanthus that you see here is NOT invasive. No regrets whatsoever here. Works FANTASTIC

M. sinensis is our invasive 😢
