Hi all
I’m just direct drilling for the 2nd time WW (Frit-fly) into a field coming out of a 3yr grass/clover ley. (Separate issue I’ll need some advice on
The problem I have is the surface seams to not be drying out and when I dig down I’ve got fantastic structure from 2” down to spade head depth. I’m surprised because the grass and clover roots have grown through it so not sure what’s causing it? Ideas and tips welcome for what to do next summer if it’s still there? It will probably be winter oats next year so not sure I’ll have time for a decent Cc if late harvested.
thanks
