How does your garden grow?

As snow begins to descend on the Mission Mountains and the air grows chill, those who love plants are saying good-bye ‘till next year or getting ready to keep them alive through the cold months.

Livestock grazing renaissance emerging

Intensive grazing, also referred to as mob grazing, incorporates a simple strategy to reduce actual input costs while maximizing conservation values. What is intensive grazing? In the case of small or large scale ranches, it simply requires the strategy of moving your livestock, every 12 hours, into small confined pastures that have not been grazed up to 40 days. The pasture is never grazed below 9 inches of growth which encourages a quicker, thicker regrowth and a deeper, hardier root system. It also chokes out the weed seed germination cycle.
