[QUOTE="WalnutCrest, post: 1416347, member: 21715"] Lots and lots of seeds lay dormant for decades. That's why, with proper grazing, you can get plant species you never planted. At our last place, when we moved in, the pasture (such as it was) was tall woody weeds, fescue and bare dirt. The soil was nearly devoid of microbial life. With nothing more than good grazing management (i.e., we didn't plant any seeds, and we didn't fertilize with anything other than what naturally comes out of the back end of a cow) and a good post-grazing mow job on the worst spots, we saw the forage change dramatically. By the second year, we had clover everywhere. The third year saw several different species of native grasses emerge. Tree seeds are not the only thing to benefit from having soil disturbed in a dramatic fashion. [/QUOTE]
