LAST TIME WE MOWED THE WAY OUT -FRONT YARD, I GATHERED A BUNCH OF THE HAY [BAHIA]TO USE FOR MULCH AND FOR COMPOST.
I PLANTED A 6 X 6 FT. SQUARE OF GROUND ON SOUTH SIDE OF A BARN WITH BIRDSEED. NEVER PLANTED THERE BEFORE, DIDN'T WANT TO WASTE GOOD SEED. I COVERED THE BED WITH THE HAY. KEEP IT WATERED FOR A WEEK. PULLED THE HAY UP AND ABOUT 100% GERMINATION. STUFFED THE HAY IN TWO BIG 25 GALLON POTS I GARDEN IN TO COMPOST IT. I WATER THE POTS WHENEVER I WATER THE GARDEN. WELL THE HAY HAD PICKED UP A NUMBER OF THOSE SEEDS AND THEY WERE SPROUTING IN THE HAY.
MY QUESTION IS: CAN I FEED THESE POTS W/THOSE SEEDS TO THE COWS AS IS? BIRD SEEDS ARE MILLET, MILO, CRACKED CORN, OIL SUNFLOWER, STRIPED SUNFLOWER. OR CAN I MAKE MORE POTS WITH HAY AND LACE THEM W/ALFALFA SEEDS AND FEED TO THE COWS? OR ANY OTHER SEEDS Y'ALL MAY SUGGEST.
ONE OF OUR PASTURES WAS MOWED ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO AND THE TUFFS OF HAY ARE STILL SCATTERED OUT THERE. WOULD IT BE WISE TO GO GATHER AS MUCH AS I NEED TO MAKE UP SOME OF THESE POTS? MAYBE ADD A TOUCH OF SYRUP TO THE FINISHED PRODUCT. AND WOULD THIS WORK FOR HORSES TOO?
WE HAVE 25 COWS AND A TOTAL OF 100 ACRES IN THREE SEPARATE [NOT CONNECTED] PASTURES. WOULD BE THIS GRANNY'S LABOR ONLY.
IT'S SUNDAY OR I WOULD ASK SOME OF MY NEIGHBOR AG GUYS BUT HOPEFULLY SOME OF Y'ALL ARE ONLINE NOW.
WE ARE SW FL 15 MILES DOWNRIVER FROM LAKE OKEECHOBEE.
THANKS, MOM
