Reclaiming a beautiful knoll a small ca native meadow, from a dumb ass pot growing scene.
Doing a restoration project for a neighbor. 60' bed of 100% rip gut brome introduced by a bale of grass hay. Pulled the fresh crop of rip gut brome, reseeded with an excellent ca perennial native grass mix from Larner seeds. Elymus Glaucous, (ca wild blue rye) Bromus Carinatus, (ca brome) and Hordeum ( CA wild barley grass) Trimmed back the bacharrus ( coyote bush) and used the prunings as mulch to keep the juncos from eating all the seed. Cool things about coyote bush ( bacharrus), it has a natural wax on the leaves that has fire retardant properties, can be pruned into a hedge, flowers in late fall making it a beneficial food source for pollinators.
