[QUOTE="SpottedFlycatcher, post: 8731779, member: 158736"] Update: The leys have continued to grow well, although the wheat and barley volunteers are prolific. The target species are all there but we need to cut the cereal volunteers and weeds as soon as conditions allow, whenever that will be. There are large areas of brome(s) and black grass, as well as annuals that we'd expect - shepherd's purse, groundsel, some charlock, cranesbill etc. Hoping to cut ASAP for weeds and then patch up sparse areas with airseeder. On the whole, happy with development but now needs managing to prevent weed seed return. Overall the grass harrow and airseeder method of establishment has resulted in better coverage and growth, but the soil is better in those fields and there was less trash so difficult to compare. Speed and cost efficiency certainly better. [ATTACH type="full"]1111186[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]1111187[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
