What's the size of the seeds on the white proso millet?
The millet I've seen in a pheasants forever mix had seeds that were big enough that they wouldn't be much of a risk to travel too far. I would have welcomed some volunteer milled growing up there the following year, but none was there.

I believe wild proso is different than the proso that that is planted. I like the bird food Idea and some of his other videos are pretty neat, I may have to try that out next year

I think there's a difference between something that finds a spot in the landscape, like dandelion, thistle, or clover, and the stuff that just takes over and raises hell with things like tag alder, canary grass, or honeysuckle.
I had a talk with a county conservation guy out here a while back and he was asking me if I would be willing to plant red cedars. I told him I was under the impression they are highly invasive and bad bad bad. He said if they are growing where you don't want them, they're invasive. If they're growing where you do want them, they are a habitat improvement.

If they're growing where you do want them, they are a habitat improvement. The difference is that cedar is super easy to kill. Clip it at ground level, chainsaw it, burn it, whatever... it doesn't grow back, stump sprout, or root sucker. Kill it once and you are done. The things I consider invasive are things that don't die or come back right after you kill it. |
