5:58 AM. We spread close to 3 pounds of little bluestem seed on the burnt ground of the front meadow last evening.
In the burned area we could see the open spots where no plants grow. We could also see ant hills. There's a lot of them. With the seed I was spreading I made sure to broadcast it on them hoping the excavated sandy soil increases the chances of germination.
I wish that we would've been doing this every spring since we let the front lawn go wild. We didn't make establishing warm and cold season grasses and sedges a priority. So forbs, like showy golden rod got aggressive and took over areas. So it just makes more work.
Anyway, I thought this was noteworthy. Anything to bring more biological diversity to a piece of ground is noteworthy to me.
Off to do a Friday on the mail trail. 📬
