[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7028177, member: 2119"] Last year I read that drilling late reduced larvae numbers in the plant so I drilled last week of august and first week of September last year. I was unlucky with the weather as it was hot and dry for a fortnight and very slow establishment and high adult grazing pressure finished it off. If we had had rain it might have been a different story. I used expensive seed from the merchant as my previous years seed was a semi dwarf which I didn’t want. I blew £2k in a fortnight on expensive seed, something I’m not in a big hurry to repeat. The “fair play” people would be down on me like a ton of bricks if I used a bit from my neighbours shed so in the end you just think stuff’em I am not taking the risk any more. Find some other mug to grow it. [/QUOTE]
