Fungi enhances crop roots and could be a future 'bio-fertilizer'
University of Cambridge “Ancient relationship” between fungi and plant roots creates genetic expression that leads to more root growth. Common fungus could one day be used as ‘bio-fertiliser’, replacing mined phosphate which is now depleted to the point of impending fertiliser crisis. By...

It's not really for you if you plough to establish your grass leys as ploughing will virtually destroy all the mycorrhizal fungi.

I didn’t explain properly, sowing seed treated with mycorrhizal fungi is fine whatever method is used. Ploughing to establish the following crop after grass will destroy the fungi.

Just like all those dock herbs you have spent money on removing!
Have you tested these mixes before signing up to a 5 year CSS agreement.
What happens if they dont work? Having to pay back a lump of cash and reseeding or buying feed will hurt?

Cows dont like docks though, they do like chicory, plantain, lucerne etc
Yes currently got several different test plots in at home but obviously used for suckler cows/sheep rather than dairy cows.
Theres an option to quit after the third year without paying back any money but you dont apply for the money in year 4 and 5.
I wont need to buy in feed even if they all fail and not a blade of grass can be seen across the entire 40 acres, as I will be under stocked for the first 3 years whilst I build numbers.
Then after the third year if they have been nothing more than a disaster I can cancel the stewardship agreement, put them into corn for wholecrop to clean the fields up and then back into ryegrass and white clover for when I will be fully stocked
Our cows scoff the docks, but weren't overly keen on chicory.

Chicory seems to go woody too quick.
Know someone who grew it on an organic farm and had to graze it every 2 weeks , grass wasn't advanced enough for grazing. Forced the rotation.

How much clover did you put in
I think these Herbs are better put in as a mix rather than pure stands unless you know one that dies really well on your soil - but then the weather is so unpredictable

Whats causing this
