I have had a consultant from Miss. advise me on Chufa, which he finds very effective, especially since deer and other plot poachers do not eat it. It is a nutgrass. However, I planted an acre or so next to the Bayou, and the coons dug up every single seed before they germinated.
we have smartweed growing everywhere but where we want it. and that's on the wetland. it chokes out our deer food plots but we cant get it to grow anywhere near the wetlands.
