Trying to create a visual barrier for a couple of plots. First time planting switchgrass. I'll be planting into a field that was soybean last year. I intend to plant about 1/2 acre total of switchgrass screens for two food plots.
Few questions..
1. I'm in Zone 4A. The local feed store said I wouldn't have much luck because the land is too far north... Is that true? If so, is there another variety you would recommend?
2. Is it too late to frost seed it? How many freeze/thaw cycles are needed, appears there are a fair number of days below freezing in forecast still at night. 10 day forecast shows every night below freezing...
3. If I don't do Simazine, will diligent use of glyphosate work good enough for initial weed control? If the answer is I should do it, is it too late to put that down?
Thanks as always!
Matt
