How do you keep a controlled burn just that, controlled? I always wondered how they keep it from getting out of hand.

Yes, it's good for the grass. This species, greater bluestem, evolved in prairies that were swept by fire from time to time. It adapted by maintaining a deep, healthy root system. Other plants of the prairie have different survival schemes. When a fire destroys everything above the ground, the bluestem is the first to spring back, ahead of its competition. Periodic burning discourages "weeds" (thistles, etc.) and hardly slows the grass down, so fire is a net benefit for bluestem.

Several methods of controlling it. This plot was only about 2 acres, surrounded by plowed earth fields. Other methods: back-burn at the leeward edge first to create a buffer; choose a day without too much wind and with the wind from a desirable direction; have plenty of help available with shovels and rakes to encourage and discourage the burn as needed at various spots. Larger areas of course require more people.
