Looks like the digestate was more lively than I gave it credit for.. 😳 Headland broadcast one to two weeks later is filling up slowly but only has the benefit of some bagged N.

Iris fodder radish from @greatingrass has outgrown the flea beetles.

Sweetcorn in the veg garden is being ravaged by some hungry critter. 🙄 Edit:- just been to get tonight’s tea and the vermin have stripped 13 cobs completely.:mad: They won’t be having any more as I picked them all.;)

Moving muck out of the yard into a field heap from which it will be spread once the moling man turns up.

I have to ask why does lot of farmers, tip muck in the middle of the field ?

When I was contract muck spreading, I could never understand, because the compaction use to be horrendous in middle of the field, around the heap then the spreader’s going left and right across the middle of a field to start, then going up and down field with the tramlines ,
When it could be tipped on the headlands which it’s got compaction from harvest , then the spreader’s pickup the tramlines and keep to control traffic situation, so if you want to subsoil everything is flowing in one direction.
On our land we do not do Control traffic but everything as to follow the drilling direction, no turning around in the middle of the field and go back you have to travel to the end of the field and back down way of the drilling.
This is when someone drove across one of my fields without me knowing, and it showed up in the linseed.
