[QUOTE="steveR, post: 6996194, member: 66976"] I have been wanting to stitch some PRG and Clover into a rather tired PP for a while now, and after the Winter/Spring double whammy, I decided to bite the bullet this time. The original intention was to go for a late Summer timing after a second cut, however, this is all now up in the air after a dreadful and late, 1st cut... So a couple of days ago, I decided that 60mm of rain was probably enough to germinate seeds and get them moving! :unsure: I ordered a patching mix, hoping to get it in yesterday, but sadly the seed did not arrive until this morning so although it was raining, I calibrated the drill @25kg/ha and set off in a lighter shower... There is a bit of regrowth on the grass, but not an problem at all. I tweaked the depth down a bit after a pass, as I felt it was not quite enough depth, now about 20-25mm. A little smeary, but with the rain we are having, I felt it will not be an issue here. I am delighted at how little rubbish and material has been dragged out, the damp, mature sward holding it together well. 10kph about perfect as suggested here by other users. 12-13 easily done, but more rubbish in evidence on top at a higher speed. Altogether, rather pleased, just have to see if there are any creepy crawlies about... Hoping June drilling might mitigate them a bit(y) Warm and damp seedbed should see a quick emergence, with luck.... Short video, Chrombook wont upload it, so will sort this ;later :) [URL unfurl="true"]https://photos.app.goo.gl/GCQ5kJVvqhBaBjYn8[/URL] [/QUOTE]
