[QUOTE="GeorgeK, post: 7234206, member: 106748"] I along with many others have been paying attention to [USER=4612]@ajd132[/USER] who seems to be getting good results on heavy soils. He has some very nice looking crops drilled early 'on the green'. The green cover means the drill can ride over sticky soil and doesn't damage the structure. It can be drilled early because of reduced weed pressure from minimal disturbance. Slugs eat the cover rather than the crop. I must admit I was sceptical of the photos drilling into waist height cover crops that clearly had a few slugs residing in them, and whether the decomposing plant matter would cause problems, but it seems like this approach may be worth a look for those who are brave enough. Hopefully he will be along in a bit to give more details [/QUOTE]
