<<Lespedeza is an amazing plant.>> Hmmm...is lespedeza also a nitrogen
fixing legume...can't recall for sure. Also can it be utilized as pasture for
cattle as part of a grazing mix?

What kind od seed/variety did you plant? How much seed per acre? How did you
sow it? How do you plant it into existing pasture/weed ground?

With acres of ground to cover what do you feel is best way to disribute the
overflow to ensure good even coverage? Drip system would work for high $$
market garden areas, but what about pasture and small orchards?

Any other values, benefits, products from lespedeza...also can it be
contained fairly easily. I wouldn't want it to over run the place like kudzu
or purple loose strife etc.

This was a great idea...thanks Darren, Lawrence etc. Frank
