    Simple deep rooting cover crop suggestions please.

    As above we have some heavyish land to sort out, it’s had spuds on it and headlands are largely churned to mud so won’t be drilled this autumn with anything unless we get a prolonged spell of dry weather. what I’m thinking is probably in.

    This isn't going to end well!

    Considering how Israel reacts after a few rockets landing in waste ground somewhere, they're not going to hold back when they've been hit by what Hamas claim to be thousands. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-middle-east-67037895
