All these people slagging of wardy what would you of done differently to make it a success?
I'm deffo not slagging him off.
I just saying timing is crucial. And not to make too many judgements about one days drilling in less than good conditions. I've been doing it for nearly 20 years and have made plenty of screw ups too - I still find spring barley a challenge and I cannot get no till rape to work the way I want.
I think the easiest place to jump in with no till is after legume with a winter wheat so it would be worth trying that out. One of the hardest is spring drilling with not much experience.
For any farmer its much more valuble to go off round the country and find some farmers who are making it work (and the make your own judgements about how they manage it and whether it suits you). The drill is a small part of the picture - all drills work fine as long as you have enough plants.
