Thank you for subscribing and your comment! Hope you continue enjoying watching : Nature Lessons, History Lessons and Sermons. Best wishes, Horace

When I was growing up in Lancaster, County, S.C. we would make brooms out of broom straw. I have used one and have made one before. I taught the Scouts in my Scout Troop how to take the little fuzzy parts to use as tinder when making fires. I like seeing a field of them also; they are pretty plants. Thank you for your nature lesson. Dennis Morgan

Hi Dennis, I, too, have worked with Boy Scouts, teaching them to ignite a fire using broom straw, as well as the fuzz from the bark of a cedar or juniper tree. Thank you for your comment. Best, Horace

I have a lot of this growing in my yard. Someone told me it was broomstraw so I looked it up on you tube and found your video. Thanks

I love the valley, too. Are you aware that the southern half of the valley is not drained by the Shenandoah? Lexington is in the James River Valley. The two together are called the Great Valley of Virginia. Glad you are familiar with this beautiful area! Best wishes, Horace

Like most 'invasive' plants, it grows in soil that we've wrecked. It's also called poverty grass since it appears in bankrupt soil, on bankrupt farms.

Thank you for watching. Yes, Broom Sedge is extremely plentiful in some areas. While young, it is reasonably good hay. I think it is most attractive waving above a new snow. Best wishes, Horace

​@@horacedouty8126if you want to starve cattle.

Its a miserable grass- livestock wont eat it unless u starve them! I only like it as it tells me where I need to improve my soil- i see it most on hillsides on my property. This is a terrible hay naïve jay buyers get suckered into if the dont know & buy fall hay…

Thank you for your comment. You are correct. This plant indicates poor soil. I am told that IF harvested at the correct stage, green broom sedge does make acceptable hay. Happy farming! Horace
