It depends on what you are sowing the seed into. The depth of the seed is not necessarily the same as the depth of the boot. the depth of the seed is the amount of soil pulled over the trench created by the boot. In a loose seed bed you can just scratch the surface. In turf normally the small amount of soil pulled over the seed means it is in fact shallow seeded even if the trench is 25mm deep.
Knew an old farmer who fed clover seed to his stock when pastures got a bit thin. Spread, fertilised and covered with no effort. His fields always looked well but never had the nerve to do this myself! Anyone else done it?
Tried it. With cows, you can get a bit to come, in small, cow pat sized patches. With sheep, the only clover I got to grow was in the patch round the mineral bucket where they spilt some out. Thinking was that the sheep muck was damp enough to make the clover seed germinate, but then dried out & died. Both a waste of good clover seed, IMO.
As far as the Simtech is concerned, I'm still learning, but would agree with above posts in principle.
