after 4 dry summers, in the last 5 years, you have to change, the solution, is right in front of us, you get to see what actually grows, when its dry. We have had good results with plantain, as well, and l think the diverse ley, for us, is probably the right way to go, but it goes against what, l was taught, and practiced, for best part of 50 yrs.
Also realising, slowly, that while we lack rainfall, being exposed, on our hills, its the drying wind, that finishes us off.
Have also realised the benefits of ground cover, where there is, as in our corn, there isn't the same effect, as if none.
But its a barsteward, being short of grass, and its happening more often. And yet, next few years, could be really wet ones, its the not knowing, that's the bugger.
well I saw your sign!
