[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 953684, member: 18945"] Since you mentioned mesquite, I take it you aren't anywhere in East Texas. It's been my experience, that mowing this late will clean the land up, but will just add to nature's job of scattering seed, but If you can wait till the weeds are dry enough, burn this fall--IF you can do so safely. The fire will get rid of the weeds and a lot of the seeds if you time it right. When I first began burning here, I called Texas Forest Service and they said they would bring out a dozer to be on standby, but after they came and looked at it and saw all the bare ground around my brush, they said I was good to go--just call them a day ahead of my burn day to let them know, and to notify the local VFD, National Forest folks, and sheriff's dept as well. When I called the Texas Forest Service the day before my burn, they put me on hold while they checked the weather forecast for wind and then told me to go ahead and light it all up. Depending on what kind of soil you havem, that burn may do your pasture some good as well, as far as the nutrients go. [/QUOTE]
