Oh so it isn't seeds. And the deer are actually eating it ?

Is that the same stuff that lady talked about at the scouting day a couple years ago? I can't remember her name. She was a biologist I believe. Cool stuff.

Do you remember what time of the year you planted?

So u did no fertilizing or anything to the seed? All u did was put it in the mud/water? The plant is breed to live in swampy areas I'm guessing? Like flooded riverbottoms?

It lives in water 6 to 8 inches deep. A lot of mine is growing on dry ground, which Im told is ok as long as its under water 1/2 the year.
