Little addition to my CO6 today.
 
Was thinking of adding one to this drill and using hopper for calcifet and stocks for osr seed. Won't get time to do it this season now though
We use Calcifert to reduce the Clubroot virus especially where following rape after rape. 6 + goes at BG.
Have a couple of guys going to try using my avatar as a seed dressing where they have problems with seed hollowing, blowing it in as crystal may work??. No idea yet on amount to use but am working on it on the basis of educated guess. They cannot put Breakthru on with the glypho as they use the straw and I have no idea on the effect of livestock consumption even in very small quantities.
Use even in very thick OSR this year has fudged the slugs on the ground, or maybe they fell off the foliage similar to your use of AS.

i recall seeing someone was making a straight disc to run in front of CO and sprinter tines ? anyone know who it was ? would be a good addition for even lower soil disturbance I think in the future

Covenbrook made some for a guy near here, he is running mercalfs. I went for a ride and was reasonably impressed but they were wearing pretty quickly. Not sure if he's on this forum but he works with @Mr Mole in a JV.

Covenbrook are making straight discs for the co ,sprinter or any other drill that people have,we have a set on a sprinter which worked very well in the spring increasing output due to less soil through we did have to have them modified slightly for the summer with some strengthen but all seems well now.our co8 is having a set fitted now so will post pictures when it's sorted.Metcalfe points we run have been fantastic I covered around 3000. Acres on a set so happy with that.keep adding and modifying boys and you never know you might get the drill you want cause no manufacturer will make it.
