[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 7422764, member: 1498"] From an older thread. [URL]https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/a-blast-from-the-past-17-the-old-seed-fiddle.120524/[/URL] I have bought these as presents for friends and have a GT version for my own use. Way better and focussed than the hassle of getting someone in to mess around with an f-off piece of large machinery on a small plot:(particularly in April which is probably the best time to be seeding but still not good for load bearing. Perhaps I'm lucky to have access to a single rigid harrow to tow behind my little Honda quad but the fiddle and the harrow weighted with a sleeper ratchet strapped on top to disturb the ground before and after seeding has done me proud. Be very aware of seed with clover in. A still day is best mind!;) Clover may not be suitable and dominate freshly over seeded grass. Here on our heavy clay it became a major problem but there was a plus in removing it in that it provided a fantastic burst of nitrogen and the less dominant older species of grasses then thrived. Look at older species mix of grass and certainly no rye. I'll have to look out my Mr Sutton's display case showing all the old grasses tied in little bundles which I took care to investigate when transforming my place from over cropped and very tired monoculture arable.
