Hopefully with soil having a reasonable om content to hang on to it but looking at what runs out of my field drains and ditches there must be substantial lossesWill any of the autumn N from muck/digestate still be left in the soil after 16 inches of rain??
'cos we all know what is going to happen next....
Too early for me and not particularly sensible imo.40 kg going on everything here as soon as it will travel, maybe Thursday or Friday.

There's no growth to feed IMO.
Quite so, Brisel.
But if the wind gets back into the west next week and it decides to rain every day until Easter, what then?
I agree. -2 frost last night and less than 6 oC today. There's no growth to feed IMO.
Just be wary rolling in the spring, it can have the effect of stimulating weed (especially grass weeds) germination and as you have now broken the chemical "seal".................As soon as it is dry enough to travel have another look. If still thin would consider a dab of N. Rolling later would help a lot. As the soil warms I guess a lot of N from your digestate will be released so go steady with big dollops of N.
BWS and PGR when crop is recovered and weather is warmer.
Sorry this one slipped by meI always enjoy his writings.
Interesting comment about Sulphur.

My Winter Barley is looking remarkably green now although it has looked pretty poor for a lot of the winter. In fact all of the September drilled stuff looks well, apart from the rape which is today getting 120l of liquid to try to power it away from the pigeonsI’ll be going on Winter Barley with flotations before long, but only to spray it off with glyphosate to start again. Nothing spent other than seed and DD cost so far, and profit is marginal enough in a good crop of WB, let alone a patchy, half drowned one.
If there was a half decent crop there, I’d be inclined to tickle a bit of N on in the frost now, as it may not travel again until April.
