Posted by Phillip on Friday, May 25, 2007 1:44 am ADTI have been wanting to plant this type of grass in th bottoms of the ditches surrounding my property and have not been very sucessful in the matter. The ditches are very wet must of the yearsprings and the run off down to the lake. I am trying to make the ditches look natural and eliminate the need for cutting them. Does anyone know how to be sucessful in planting these types of plants?

Our ditches and pond are full of tall grasses but it is difficult, but not impossible, to get seed (need to walk in the ditch, or ?). Another issue is getting it to grow; it does grow naturally without difficulty. Our farm is near Windsor, Ontario. My brother, who lives in Northern Alberta, is interested in buying seed to serve the same purpose you stated. Do you know if the grass can be used where cattle graze? I would appreciate a response by email. Olga Crocker
