Cutting chicory into existing grass ley

[willy]

Has anyone done this and if so what sort of rates, I have really old pasture and don't want to rip. It up but would think chicory could bring something extra for the lambs.

You mean undersow? Can work ok if ground and weather conditions are right. Graze tight, Direct drill and hope! It’s all abit hit and miss depending on how vigorous your existing pasture is.
mid your really cheap you can throw some in the fert spinner mixed with fert and spread it on, then either roll it in or send the sheep or cattle out again, to tread it in.

I’ve done it into old turf either after mowing or when swards open as said above, a lot depends on conditions, moisture being the main factor
