about plastic, though we try very hard to use the lumber wrap over and over again – mostly give to schools who are trying to get rid of turf to create pollinator or school gardens. I guess the burning of the ground doesn’t seem too off to me as I live in
a fire prone region , so the ground has been fried a lot in the past. But maybe this is a different thing entirely. Thanks for the comments and food for thought. It’s one of the toughest things I’ve ever done- restore a meadow! Very hard work and it seems
no right way or one way only. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

while not adversely affecting other species such as insects, grubs, worms, ants and nesting bees, etc. Is no one concerned that the plastic is literally cooking the life out of a multitude of species???

my already fraught relationship with the earth) I think there are other options, but they’re slow. I’ve had permaculture guys suggest grazers too but in the end I just couldn’t figure out how to do that properly. Getting a great native meadow-building book
or guide is helpful. We have been experimenting on various methods for replacing invasive grasses and other species over the past two years on our Pollinator Pasture site
</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span><a href="http://borderfreebees.com/kelowna-public-art-pollinator-pasture/" target="_blank"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">http://borderfreebees.com/kelowna-public-art-pollinator-pasture/</span><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="color:#1F497D">.
We have been most successful with plastic solarisation methods that kill the invasive grasses and species, then we seed over. We get donated plastic from lumber yards—that big lumber wrap. We’d done about half an acre at a time (and we donate the plastic
to others to use as solarisation sheets to try to keep stuff out of the landfill!) The solarisation does a great job of killing off the invasive grasses (we left the plastic on for spring and summer one season- ok- and a whole year – better!) but pesky bindweed
seems pretty unkillable! But I think we’re making the conversion slowly though I am trying to not expect perfection!</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

is no need to mow or use sheep. If you use sheep without killing the non-native grasses, they will most likely eat the native grasses and forbs first, and leave the non-native grasses alone to dominate the site.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
