[QUOTE="Ali_Maxxum, post: 2404550, member: 12293"] Next week we've a 3 acre field to completely re-seed back to grass. Current sward is very old and tired, full of weeds and moss, very little actual grass. It's not a big patch I know but it provides my customers winter feed for their highland cattle (or at least it used to, hence the need to re-seed). Plan to use a long-term ley mix from Countrywide as it's the only place I can get enough for just 3 acres. Preferred place has a minimum order of 8 acres. Our current plan of attack is this; Plough Spread lime Power harrow Harrow (Ritchie chain/spike harrow with level bars) Broadcast seed Lightly harrow Roll This may seem very obvious but just doing a bit of research some people say to roll after the plough, roll 2 different ways at the end or forget the power harrow altogether.... Any opinions/ideas appreciated. [/QUOTE]
