Few thoughts…..
Yes
We have partners (I hate the word pro staff) who currently have plantings of real world and RC Bigrock together. RC Big out grew RW the first year.
Real World is $9 a pound ( no that is not a typo) , $9 a pound more than RC Bigrock. Folks, that’s $1250 a fifty pound bag for Alamo (from the last tag I saw ) switch. And it’s not going to preform as well. You are paying for a name, that’s all.
Rob is probably closest to most of you, but if he runs out we should be stocked until June. We have 18,000 pounds (well it is down to 16,000 pounds) now and are getting more in Jan.
I have spilled some of this in a parking lot and it grew to 3 feet . I planted RC Tecumseh on pure sand with our Food plot screen together and it got 4-5 feet. Bobby Kendall sent me a video of 4 foot tall Bigrock in Illinois that all he did was spray 2 times and drill. This stuff is simply amazing. The new Bigrock seed is huge for a native grass seed.
if you can drill it, I would spray a few times in spring and drill in June. I have seen pictures of a new variety they are working on that was drilled in July and hit 6 feet.
Is $25 a pound switchgrass worth it compared to the RC? Everything I’ve seen and the installers I’ve talked to said it’s not even close.
