Very interested in growing phalaris grass, just want to know if anyone is successfully harvesting and if the process is rather simple, do you just mow it like mowing the lawn, and how easy is it to grow, if its simple might as well take up all my regular lawn and plant phalaris grass Big grin Big grin

I'm experimenting with P. aquatica in pots.

It doesn't need much care to survive, but I can't say it thrives without care. It's been very dry here (no rain for 2 months or so) and that coupled with the heat is not helping. Perhaps summer is not the best time for it.

Harvesting is as easy as cutting it. Mowing could work, but you may want to make sure you're only mowing the Phalaris and no other grass or weeds, although if you're going to extract it, it probably doesn't matter.

I have in a plastic tub. Just fill it up with dirt, sprinkle seeds on it, water. There is nothing to it really.
