[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6355772, member: 54866"] I don't like to see seed broadcast- it is far to expensive. By all means rake the stubble to spread the trash, annoy the slugs and get the green to chit. To be fair if your rake spreads the wheat volunteers out evenly they aren't usually a problem. I don't know what drill you have but you ideally want it to generate some tilth, drop the seed on the surface and then harrow it in then firm it- something which a Vaderstaad will do very well. I would then roll it. No need to rake again unless your drill needs a follow up. If you are leaving high levels of trash I would probably pellet pre-emptively. Depends on the weather. If the soil is moist but weather warm and dry then the slugs probably outrun by the grass seed. If wheat volunteers arrive you can put sheep across the ley a bit later on. If broad leaved weeds are an issue, spray them sooner rather than later. [/QUOTE]
