Miscanthus Gigantus

Not sure I agree with Joe on this one. Fert helps everything. What it really needs is a drink tho!

Just saying I personally wouldn’t. Done miscanthus before and its done well without.
Id focus more on weed competition.
Food plots gobble up my fertilizer budget

We've gotten an inch and a half of rain this week, hope it helps. We've just barely crept along with enough to sustain crops.

I planted 500ish miscanthus rhizomes this spring on a test area screening my barn (and its associated activities) from the farm and road. They are beginning to pop up nicely. 3 rows 18” apart and 18” (approximately) between each rhizome.

I have a buddy who planted around 10,000 this spring for commercial screening projects and his are coming along too. He planted with a tree planter, which if you are doing more than a couple hundred I highly recommend.
I hadnt seen (or noticed) an IW thread on miscanthus so thought id get one going.
If my test turns out doing well I’ll probably plant several more in coming years.

After year 2 how is you miscanthus planting looking? Did you by chance take any pics along the way?
