[QUOTE="4course, post: 6544078, member: 2772"] spiekeislander, here north north yorks you are possibly too late to get any real benefit, bedfordshire to me is unknown territory ,It would depend on your planned latest sowing date that normally doesnt impinge on yield ,a catch crop such as mustard does a fair bit of good below ground ie below plough depth weve found without necessarily showing a lot up top , we reckon a minimum of 6-7 weeks preferably more from sowing of catch crop to sowing of wheat following seedbed 75% cultivation i.e only needs a quick pass and drill wheat as the mustard just disapears. We aim to sow the catch crop in the 3rd or 4th week of august and sow 2nd or 3rd wheat before the 20th oct with a cut off that we have not breached of 24th as the land sown with catch crop will travel a lot better than ploughing and sowing , our old system, or early plough and wait, which just resulted in cobbles or a bog and puddling it in [/QUOTE]
