[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7138517, member: 54866"] I'm not sure what you arguing exactly. Yes, it will green over with weed grasses and other weeds- there is an established weed seed bank in the uppermost layers of the soil as I have said previously. Burning it again 6 weeks later won't do much in this regard as they do not all emerge in one go unfortunately. This is the problem with methods that do not invert the soil to bring up dirt which has a lower weed seed burden, within a short space of time the weed grasses are able to proliferate and dominate the new ley. It can be worse if there is significant couch rhizomes or other species are present. Controlling chickweed in a new ley is childsplay and does not cost a lot of money at all, could be the cheapest grassland spraying people will ever do actually. [/QUOTE]
