Out spraying the beans today.
Have some fields was dd and some min till.
First the dd stuff, there is approx 45 plants pr square meter, = 81 % and some jumps in the rows with no plants. But they are wery clean compared to the min till stuff witch are full of weeds.
Then the min till approx 55 plants = 100% germination, but 2 passes in 15 cm with the cultivator is a huge cost plus there are probably 10 times as many weeds here.
Hopefully we can keep them clean despite our limited choice of herbicides.
Should probably have raked the dd fields when we cultivated the other fields first time. It would have crumbled the cover crop and maby have created enough tilt on top to get some moisture out of the top soil.

@bald on top what are the legalities of spreading fym ahead of beans? Thought it wasn't allowed?
Not in an NVZ that's for sure, regardless of how well it might work.

Winter linseed just starting to flower, not grown it before, wondering if it's got a bit tall?

Amazing crops Daniel but more amazed of the fact that your dog will sit still for a photo.
