Our WHD Switchgrass Blend is made up of 3 different switchgrass varieties. These strands are selected to support each other to create a thermal break that withstands the harsh winds and winter elements that it is bound to face. Using it for bedding, screening, or travel routes, switchgrass is a very versatile product and very durable once it is mature. When using it for bedding areas, the most important factor is that it is one of the best thermal covers available to wildlife. In the hunting season, when mid to late season comes around and the cold winds start blowing, this is the go-to bedding for a lot of whitetail deer and other wildlife. To create a superb bedding area, keep in mind that it is very important to make sure that there is natural regrowth close by the switchgrass for the deer to browse on since switchgrass alone is not browse. On screening, it is a really nice thick screen but not as overbearing as some of the tall grasses that are available. When planning on planting WHD Switchgrass it is very important to take the correct steps to eliminate any weed competition with herbicides. Weeds are the biggest factor in an unsuccessful switchgrass planting project. Our team at WHD will lead you through the complete process of how to plant and maintain switchgrass successfully.
