Thanks for the video! I like these comparisons with different plants. I know this fall I’m going to plant native species but depending on how well it goes i might plant more in the future.

How does Bottle Brush stockpile? Im looking for an alternative to K31. As much as people like K31 I’m not too happy with its late spring performance. Maybe add some BB to our sward?

The native grass would have to decrease parasite infestation at the higher grazing height.
