Looks like we have a direct drilling expert on TFF in the space of 3 weeks
Are you going to write a column in @Clive s magazine or write a book maybe?
You could call it the slag diaries
Surely not 'quite' evangelical enough to write in there yet?

Could they have been eaten? I have a field that has had 5kg/ha three times since drilling, and there are still grey slugs there (& juveniles now too!) with an apparent taste for Crimson Clover.
Even after that many pellets, you can hardly find one on the surface now. I'm sure I'm just feeding them.
Howbout Load up the drill on a car trailer and go on tour for the summer like a busmans holiday

He does there yes with a light Cambridge roller
Only to just ‘nip’ it if you get me without actually sealing the slot.

In the past, where it's had 3 doses of 5kg/ha and the damage is on-going and I'd be using draza in all honesty. I had a colleague that believed the old black ridged slugs were resistant to metaldehyde, I never heard anything about that in the press. The problem with ferric is that you don't see dead slugs, they apparently consume the stuff and then go underground and stop eating so you it's not as spectacular as the older AI. Draza of course, you knew worked because every invertebrate in the field was dead.

Yes. Doesn’t work that well on our type of undulating land. Better movement in it than the Moore but not as consistent depth control as the Duncan or simtech
