No flea beetle problems ?We had zero tilled linseed for several years
It’s no problem at all, very straight forward
Or No one else plants linseed near byNo flea beetle problems ?
You are probably earlier than us with your light soils.
I was told this before we started growing linseed but 2 seasons in and never had a problem luckily. Could just be the older variety’s.The main reason people don’t grow it is the fact it’s near impossible to combine bloody stuff raps up like barb wire I under stand you need a power flow table for success!!
Whoever told you that hasn't a clue what they are talking about !The main reason people don’t grow it is the fact it’s near impossible to combine bloody stuff raps up like barb wire I under stand you need a power flow table for success!!

Not grown it before but am contemplating it as possibly the least unattractive spring break! -
Quick question tbough, is it OK on an ordinary drying floor or does it get under the floor/flow out of the door etc etc. Years ago dad grew it and it went into bins, which have long since been condemned, and we've never had it on the floor before.
Thanks
It is fine on drying floors, ours used to be on drying floors and stirred by augers. It will run out of the smallest hole in the door or floor or trailers so you need to sort these ahead of time. Drop anything in into it and it is gone mind, flows like water.

Thanks. Have to say it's looking less attractive every time I look at it, though to be fair no other option looks particularly brilliant!Avoid. It's nearly impossible to walk the heaps, finds every little hole in the floor/walls/tunnel/doors & won't stack very deep. It also has a high resistance to airflow so can be hard to dry & condition. A batch or continuous flow drier and bins is better if available. Drying on floor is doable - I've had to do this many times. Don't apply much heat.
Hi Clive, have you grown spring linseed with 25cm row spacing?We had zero tilled linseed for several years
It’s no problem at all, very straight forward
