[QUOTE="Bob Kinford, post: 1848789, member: 1599"] Common mullet brings calcium, magnesium and potassium to the surface which get incorporated into the soil when the leaves fall off and decompose. It is also a pollinator plant bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. We don't really have weed problems, but a lack of knowledge thanks to an academic system which has been ignoring biology to support chemical companies for the past 75 years. Weeds and brush are not invasive as much as they are the natural plant succession brought on by depleting soil fertility. In most cases they can be kept under control and eliminated through grazing management to improve soil fertility. Many of the weeds are at one point or another, higher in nutrition than good alfalfa hay. Thanks to modern technology and feeding our animals supplement tubs, we've trained our animals to quit eating them [/QUOTE]
