[QUOTE="Jim Bullock, post: 57865, member: 97"] For a cover-crop roller (FACU roller) to work properly to kill of the "cover-crop" you need to be hitting it as it runs up to seed ie: at stem extension which will exclude most species when drilled in the late summer prior to an autumn sown cash crop...You might just be able to use it in the late winter/early spring when hitting an over-wintered cover crop prior to spring cash crop...but you will need some frost either at the time of rolling or very soon afterwards if you are to do a half decent job....In the UK it will do nothing for any of our more difficult to control grass weeds...they will still need some glyphosate to get rid of them...If you can except that you will still need to be spraying... the advantage of using the cover-crop-roller (IMO) is that it produces a bit of surface tillage and it "lays" the residue which helps with establishing the next crop.. Another example.. [url]http://rolofaca.fr/agricole/[/url] have look at the vine drill on the website...very simple and could well be adapted to planting OSR or Beans.. [/QUOTE]
