Wet pasture

[circlew]

I've got a little pasture around my pond where swamp grass and dirt grows. Been like that for about four years. Its real wet around it. Right now there is a lot of water standing now. My question is, what would be a good grass to plant there. I'm gonna disc it up this summer and level it out, if it drys out. Just looking for something to plant back.

Bahia and some ryegrass. I like the the tif-9 type of bahia grass myself.

I was thinking going tif-9. But I wasn't sure how it would do in the real wet areas. Would the tiff-9 doing any good drill into exsiting pasture. It bahia but its the common type. A fellow planted some t-9 on some produce land and it made excellent pasture. Thought about drilling some this spring.

I have a lot of creek bottom that stayed so wet I had to put a drainage system in. I mixed common bermuda in with Bahia . The area the bahia doesn't like the bermuda loves.

Thanks CB and HighGrit. I'm gonna try the bahia this summer when the water dries up.
