[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 6766154, member: 12099"] i dunno im pretty good at killing off pr and wc after a year or 2 as:oops: well, it doesn't mind wet hair but not wet feet, max production will come from plenty of water available (and of course sunshine) in the growing season the dry weather advantage comes from longer rooting,(which is PR 's downfall) yes deep free draining fertile soil ( P,K, and Ca etc not N that it makes itself tho of course ) will be its best yielder. but thats not to say it wont outyield pr in pooer much drier soils/time and we do get long periods of them dry times now it seems My avatar pic was it at 3rd summer, from being sown 3 summers previously, i didn't feed it as much as i could have, for max production anyway, as the field was to go to another use not requiring left over so to speak , i gave it a good seeing to :( with a drum mower the following year but by then fields use was not available to us.... i might have a go at it another time possibly if we can spare the right kind of field at the time. the current 'trial' idea is to get more Cocksffoot in mixe s on variabe soil types this year i think, :unsure: [/QUOTE]
