[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 4057974, member: 71668"] I will also add that as well as my own farm, I do contract planting work for other people. Big variety of crops, management techniques & soil types. So, my experience isn't just on my own little patch, but quite extensive. I'll talk more about our glorious self mulching clays later, but I think more interesting is the improvement in tired worn out over cultivated lighter soils that change from near useless to being rich & productive, by minimising cultivation, adding living roots, increasing ground cover & encouraging soil biology. Major results may take 10 yrs or more, but there are some fascinating instant improvements from for eg just leaving a thick mat of straw lying flat on the ground. We value our straw highly, not for baling or bedding or selling, but as groundcover [/QUOTE]
