I have been working several years now to improve my horse pasture. I have over seeded, fertilized, added lime and more. I'm not there all the time so mowing is sometimes a month apart. I was mowing at 6" to keep the grass long for the horses. I just lowered my finish mower to 4" and it cuts much better. The grass get cut and not twisted. It looks great this way because all the weeds get cut off. Is there any evidence that grass will grow better when cut short, and if so what is the best length. The grass is fescue, orchard & clover.
I also want to spay for weeds this fall and spring. I have been hearing 2-4D a lot and want to be sure the horses can stay on the grass after it's sprayed. Is 2-4D the best product and what are the best times to apply? I'm also told you can apply 2-4D to pond grass without any issues unless your drinking the water. (Horses drink it and will it hurt them?)
If there any grass experts out there I could sure use the help.
Thanks,
Charles
