[QUOTE="Rhys_Evans, post: 7761622, member: 163052"] Hi all I'm based in South Snowdonia (Rhyd-y-main near Dolgellau) and I'm looking to restore a 1ha field parcel into a hay meadow. Some info on the field in question; - It's been permanent pasture for 30 years+ - Received no nitrogen fertilizer or FYM for probably 30 years+ - Grazed all year with sheep for over 30 years+ I'm interested to know how other would go about it? Would you; - Remove livestock next May and see what kind of crop/ plants establish? - Plough and reseed with a hay meadow mixture? - Use se a sub-soiler and seed? Are there other considerations? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :) Diolch [/QUOTE]
