Planning on buying a floor standing pillar drill whats your views, want a robust drill with the least robust price tag . Have had a Sealy in the past, did the job but wasnt the most accurate.

I suppose being derived from blown sand it doesn't have much fertility so no deep down oomf ,and little in the way of any trace elements, don't suppose I should even try to grow barley on it but hay ho you just have to work with what you got.

As it happens the other side of the farm is acidic peat but would require a fenominal tonnage to be applied per hectare and as you say wouldnt be looked at very kindly.

No wasn't thinking it would reduce the PH but might help the low copper availability which cause the barley to not flower correctly plant just goes a pale white and never produces any viable grain. It is a recommended prosses but usually applied on the ploughed land that's why I was asking if...

Just what I have on hand at moment, and being in lockdown up here in the wilds thought I use that ,used it before but never after the seed was sown.
