I'd have thought so , but just wondering if 2017 counts as it's the first year , even though the mix would only be growing for a few months in that year2020 surely.

2017 is year 1 if u are accepted in that year. Yes a few months growth is still counted.I'd have thought so , but just wondering if 2017 counts as it's the first year , even though the mix would only be growing for a few months in that year
Can the cuttings be romoved in a black plastic bale2017 is year 1 if u are accepted in that year. Yes a few months growth is still counted.
Then yr 2 you have to cut it. 4 times I cut between April and July thereafter the bg gave up trying to seed, as far as I could tell! Also got to try to stop the rg from seeding too
If you removed the bales quick enough you'd probably be fine.Can the cuttings be romoved in a black plastic bale

Looks good. Doesn't it have to be cut just once in the second year, before the end of March and then left until 15th August , so that its there for the insects .This is last night.
View attachment 575792 12 months of AB15 and the soil transformation is v pleasing. Roots have created crumb structure down to 7+ inch. Meanwhile 1 metre away (pea crop followed by catch crop) the soil is black plasticene below 3". Bearing in mind this area was recently subjected to 85mm in 24hrs resulting in 12" flooding. My whole farm could do with a year of this mixture!
How much, as I've put in for 11 ha of it.Shame about the seed costs! Ordered mine recently.

It was following S Barley. So was later than their date.How and when did you establish it? Following what crop?
I am down for 5ha.
