[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 7138665, member: 45282"] I haven't got a problem with the use of chemicals in the right circumstances, but it would be naive to say that farmers etc. don't over use them-spraying Roundup to "ripen" cereals being a prime example. As for reseeding, the standard advice is Roundup, Lime, fert, then either; a) plough (or disc) cultivate drill post emerge spray. b) DD post emerge spray. My view would be a) if the ploughing is done correctly, there's no need to use Roundup-fields were reseeded perfectly well before Roundup. b) new seeds sown into a properly cultivated seedbed (where weed seeds have chitted and been eliminated by cultivation,) will outgrow and smother any remaining weeds. c) Proper management including the use of fertilisers and lime, will improve most grassland anyway so reducing the need for reseeding.
