My dad tried planting some prairie in the 90s', he got fed up with it after the 2nd year and plowed it under. I had two patches that I planted 3 years ago that never really came. I burnt both off this spring, and they look great. I have blue stem and flowers coming that never showed up on initial plant.
I sure miss not being able to tell him.
My 6 year old patch also got burnt, the blue stem did not come real well last year, but it is back in full force. I really think to have good prairie it should be burnt off every 3-4 years, but needs to be real thick so it is a hot burn.
