RE: hey, whazzup?

Why kill them? Now that you've roughed up those grasses, sow in the forbs
and keep the plot mowed for a full growing season, and part of another
season if the soil is rich. The forbs should be able to establish withthis
approach.

OK, here is a question for the list.
I have an area I seeded 100% tall grasses.  Indian and Big Bluestem.
Very thick growth. Did not have any forbs at the time (7 years ago) for
this planting.  Now I can collect/buy forbs.  I have burned the area and
have tilled it about one inch deep.  I want to kill off the grasses,
they will come back on their own.  Question for group:
ideas/suggestions on different ways to reduce or get rid of tall/warm
season grasses.
thanks
