[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7604409, member: 348"] Your field will definitely carry stock better overwinter if you haven’t loosened it all with a plough, even with the decaying thatch. I agree with Derek, in that I would never plough all the nutrients down before reseeding. However, unless your land is as light as [USER=12099]@Bury the Trash[/USER] ‘s must be, you will usually need to scratch the surface with shallow cultivation of some sort in the Spring. It’s very rare I could DD into anything grazed over winter here with sheep (& I wouldn’t entertain keeping cattle out here), but as we are wet in the winter and on clay soils, I guess we would have what some might consider ‘unsuitable’ land.🤐 Works well though and has improved the soil OM no end.
