[MAIPC] stilt grass mowing

[Milo Pyne]

it is a little more labor-intensive, but we had some success raking it up with a "hard rake" (not a leaf rake), bagging it up, and getting it off site. key is to do this when it is long and leggy (and poorly rooted) but has not set seed...

Be sure and cut it very low or it could grow back enough to flower and set seed.

I think now is a good time. You want to cut it before it sets seed and after it has invested a lot of energy in above ground biomass. I would think mid July is the time to start.

Marc,



How are you doing?  I haven't seen much of you recently.



Do you think it's OK to start mowing stilt grass now?  I am going to weed whack it and there's a lot to do.
