Perennial pasture update
Dec 20 2017 0 Comments Tags: farm, pasture
After we tried growing forage crops on our cultivation areas we decided it would be worth trying to establish a perennial pasture instead. We planted about 10 acres out of 20 acres as a test two years ago using Rhodes grass, Creeping Blue grass, Digiteria and Wynn Cassia. It took a few months for that pasture to start growing and in the meantime we were worried that we had wasted a lot of time and money, but gradually the grass came up and got thicker and now we have a pretty good coverage. The Rhodes and the Blue grass are creeping, so they start to fill in the gaps.
