I’ve 380t of the enhanced sewage cake coming. The one that’s safe for use on grassland. Worth a try!

Booked our first total forage reared cattle in for end of June, had them walked by co-op feildsman, will be 21-23 months old, really pleased how well they have done, they have moved grassing paddock every 7 days & out wintered, with maize in feeders. View attachment 1036115View attachment 1036116

How on earth do you grow Maize organically? How do you stop the Docks from taking over?

At a guess I would say lots of weeding.

No straight on to grass. He's got cows on some of the fields.

I'd be wary of heavy metals and microplastics.

Do you plough it and keep cultivating to get rid of the weeds before sowing.
We used to get terrible trouble with Woody Nightshade and Fathen which would smother the Maize, especially if it went very dry.

It’s cooked apparently rather than just digested. Kills nearly all the bacteria present. Just what I’ve been told. I’ve mates that use hundreds and hundreds of tonnes of the stuff. Payment only comes into it if I want it spreading. Got the kit will do it ourselves. Plus I don’t trust contractors on some of our banks!

 

[Sir loin]

Interesting yes. I put just under 1 cwt/acre of stockbooster 25/5/5 on most grazing ground in March
No black bag on any of that land but I did get it on some I missed
It has Selenium added to it someone was writing on here about it helping the cause

Can you direct me to that had terrible black bag in ewes but not in cows. All cows receive 2 cosecure bolus before turn out

We have silaged the ground and then added muck + slurry, then ploughed + lime. Then waited till first week of June and power harrow drilled,50 spacing. Those feilds in maize last year now all in spring barley.

By the sounds of it, if you live close by you don't.
