[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6720780, member: 348"] I had an old Moore (which I moved on) and now have my second Simtech. However, drilling anything into old pasture is next thing to a waste of time, and only a temporary boost at best, ime. The old sward will outcompete almost everything, putting you back to square one very quickly, but having spent a lot on seed. Rotational grazing will improve your old grass far more, and at less expense, than trying to introduce uncompetitive species. The best success I’ve had for introducing clover to an existing sward, has been with a quad bike spinner, soon after taking a silage/hay crop, spreading just prior to heavy rain/thunderstorms. Even better if you can run a big mob of sheep over for a couple of days to press the seed in. You need reduced competition, seed to soil contact and moisture. How you achieve that is up to you.:) [/QUOTE]
