[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7138460, member: 54866"] That isn't weed grass. We grasses will emerge from your seed bank and proliferate unless it is ploughed (one of the reasons for ploughing) or you have controlled them in a previous crop. This is one of the benefits of crop rotation and a negative factor associated with grass to grass reseeding. I have nothing against min-till or direct drilling but the idea that a plough is just a problematic tool that isn't ever needed isn't entirely true in my view. It certainly does have a place. Also, as I have said many many times, a broad leaved weed infestation should never be used as a sole justification for reseeding. They can be readily controlled at far less cost even if you have to spray 3 times to get rid of them, it would still be far cheaper than a full blown reseed. It is the prevalence of weed grasses that should dedicate the need (or not) of a reseed being needed. [/QUOTE]
