re: Starting prairie type field

Which is crazy, because our fire season isn't typically the winter, and that burn frequency contributes to lower Conservatism in the prairie. Most of the prairie endemic species are on the higher end of the Conservatism scale, which means they aren't fond of frequent disturbance.

I'd like to think they wouldn't advise burning every year after establishment. Natural fire cycles in a given area didn't even happen yearly, or anywhere close.

Definitely never heard of burning every year for establishment. Seems like a good way to stress and kill alot of plants that are trying to put down roots.

Best thing you can do is consult with Malcom Vidrine or Steve Nevitt if you live in the historical Cajun prairie region and are really serious about the project. I’d have to imagine they have the most experience in restorations around here.

first start with fire

Does this still work? Paid them 2 weeks ago and no shipping confirmation or anything yet. Emailed them and no response either

Have you seen the shipment email though? I got that confirmation one. Nothing being shipped within 10 days of purchase though

I suggest you get on Facebook and join Louisiana Native Plant Society. Also, Cajun Prairie Society. Native plants , grasses, trees are the next wave.

Do they have a number to call?

I don't know, I just figured they should have one.
