Sorry to go slightly off topic.

Here are pictures of some of my cover crops. The first one is Pedders Legumix and the other two are of some bought in Radish and Vetch mixed with some of our peas. Established around the 24 May following failed OSR. I've also got a Radish and Mustard mix in another field although I haven't any pictures of that currently.

Some updated pictures of covercrops. This the fodder radish mustard and pea mix. Really pleased with it, full of bees and should provide some good biomass to incorporate back in. Hoping to demo a Vaderstad crosscutter next week, if not It will have to be roundup.

Crosscutter in action. Very impressed with it, chopping stalks and mixing well. I think the crosscutter gives better depth control to the whole machine.
