Dead wood in soil banks can invite termites that damage or girdle citrus roots, so use clean soil or sand and tar or asphalt on wounds. Para and St. Augustine grasses are best for muck soil pasture, with St. Augustine providing more winter grazing though slower to establish, and St. Lucie Bermuda also workable but less effective than the other two.
