Slugs have had a large portion of my legume fallow this spring, despite mixing pellets with the seed, and broadcast on top too.

Thinking of drilling some mustard or similar into it in a...

So, things have changed a little, organic is the old school, flat cap wearing, tweed kinda feel. Regenerative is the new kid on the block, rather edgy, slick style but promising a down to earth feel. So in the marketing eyes of the British Retail Consortium who are they going to run with? Who...

The label says 80 - 250 L/HA which is a huge range.
I've tended to go at 200 L/HA to give everything a "good wetting" but wondered what others are doing and why.
