I have spent many hours choosing what to plant next to my pond when it is finished (I have orderd the first stocking so it will be soon)
....I too will not be able to water the seed after I broadcast it, not to mention the site is almost all clay from the borrow while building the pond. I have decided on buffalo grass. once it is established it only requires 12" annual rain fall, grows to 6", does not need to be watered, very little fertilizer needed and it is palatable for grazing. Sorry I have not found much on the web about it, I am a blueberry farmer and we have been looking at it for between the rows. I started with my CO-OP agent.
If you have time, I can keep in touch and give you updates over the summer.
I'm just giddy that I have something to offer after months of sucking up everyone's gray matter. Prep, Prep, Prep is the most important thing when planting a new field. KILL EVERYTHING with roundup first then start working up the soil. Go get em'
