I would be very interested to hear the outcome of planting smart weed from seed. Here in Texas, I tried once and the results were very poor at best. I have had a lot more success digging naturally grown/volunteer clumps and primitively planting in areas where I want it.
One problem may have been that I could only find Pennsylvania Smart Weed seeds (purple bloom) in lieu of our natural variety which has white blooms. Does anyone know where I can get the white bloom variety seeds? As stated above, there is no doubt the ducks love it!
We have also started working with bamboo and/or switch cane to create natural blinds. However, you must be very careful because, as you probably know, either species can become very evasive. We only do it in areas where we can control it. It is much easier/cheaper than (re)building and (re)covering a duck blind every year.
Blast in the winter, cast in the spring!
