Eric and TG, thanks for the info.
One quick question concerning HBG which I hate to ask, but...HBG do not spawn I guess from the put and take reference, or spawn in much lower numbers (hence the term hybrid)? I never have paid too much attention to the nuances of BG v. HBG V. redear etc, I figured with enough LMB it would work itself out both ways. What is the advantage of the Redear?
I've followed all the HSB threads with great interest, but am behind the learning curve on BG. My plan was to stock HSB, grow them a season and maybe add some LMB(now adult size LMB) to increase the variety, always maintaining a level of BG for forage. But as the BG are prolific spawners, perhaps the HBG is a better choice to co-exist with the HSB, and take TG's advice and add adult BG later.
