we are thinking about, IRG or w/wold, with vetch, behind wheat, but just as likely, the grass may require a cut, this backend, what would happen to the vetch, would it recover ? for the following spring.
Common vetch won't, bit of a one hit wonder , more chance with winter vetch
Been doing that for years and it works very well as the Italian starts to lose its production stitch a more permanent ley in works well for getting rid of weeds too.
Really pleased and the customer is I’ve got a few others on the system now burn off old ley from now on either rape and stubble turnips or a mixture graze them through back end spray off any weeds the following spring then put in Italian ryegrass or a blend with westerwolds.
Are you burning off the Italians Kev?
If they are fairly open I don’t bother but I may run out of luck doing it without maybe.
would probably be winter vetch
Does the Italian get grazed hard in the winter befor you DD the permanent ley in?
Same problem here with docks , simple cheap mix and spray them seems to work
Yes graze down hard in any DD situation when not spraying off I seem to get good results this way.
Be like drilling concrete here at min into PP, looks moisture where you are though, grass growing country
Very damp land there quite heavy but fields adjacent are right near the shaleBe like drilling concrete here at min into PP, looks moisture where you are though, grass growing country
We use a disc here ,Erth close spacing , has worked well but I'm very careful where I use it , I've seen others local to me have problems with germination, I refuse to use it if conditions are not right , you have to make them right first
