[QUOTE="J. T., post: 98732, member: 289"] I've always been interested in Sericea Lespedeza but I understand the seedlings are weak and it takes time to get established. However, here in my part of Alabama, the coal industry uses it heavily on reclaimed strip mines and it grows like crazy forever with no further fertilizing. I have a hillside that is not as productive as I'd like. It hasn't had cows on it for a few years due to poor fencing in that area. However the fence will be rebuilt by the end of summer and I thought about planting sericea next year on this hill. Right now, it's covered in fescue (not a thick stand) broomesedge, and hardwood seedlings that have to be bushhogged every summer. What needs to be done to establish sericea in this area? The soil is poor, acidic, and steep. Sounds perfect for sericea to me. Any suggestions? Thanks. J. T. [/QUOTE]
