Prairie Plots Prep Time !! Round one !!! Done !!

Finished the first round of preparation on the three prairie restoration plots (see Prairie page), which consisted of about two months of bush hogging, then waiting several weeks, then spraying a RoundUp/ 2-4-D treatment, then waiting several weeks, then disking each tract, then waiting a few weeks and disking them a second time. I will repeat the process (minus the bush hogging) once more and then sow the prairie seeds sometime hopefully in mid November.  The goal is to get rid of the noxious and invasives so the natives we'll plant will have better survivability.
