[QUOTE="Derrick Hughes, post: 7136294, member: 473"] Was sprayed 5 days before cutting silage then left 4 weeks -weather was bad and waiting for new drill . By that time weeds were growing so sprayed again - 5 days later limed some had slag and drilled at 14 kg . 3cwt fertiliser broadcast with 2 kg of slug pellets per acre I dont think there is any weed grasses as 2 acres we did not do is still bare, that got drilled last week , the daft thing is after everyone saying it was risky best put some rape or turnips I put rape in the next field and it failed - rape dont like constant rain and lying in water - would I drill into old pasture again- most definitely- but I would up the seed rate- maybe to 18 kg - you will get the odd thin patch but its no hassle just to go back in with the drill and top it up Another thing I learnt was if you are stuck for time then spraying before you cut is 100 % better- waiting for it to grow back enough to spray after can lose you 3 weeks [/QUOTE]
