[QUOTE="Fred, post: 1058906, member: 534"] You may or not know i have an area of cover crops, oats and vetch in the ground, and mass of black grass , on some heavy land . They were sprayed off on Saturday and being a paid up member of BASE i thought i would drill them this morning "on the green " OOps . thats a no go, whilst dry on top , its a wet mess underneath, The Horsch with narrow tines just pulled lines like a knife through butter , leaving open slots with the spring wheat open to the elements, I could harrow it and roll it but that defeats the object of minimal disturbance, I could roll it ,and hope that this will cover the slots , my fear being the smeared bottom of the trench will dry out and prevent germination, But i am not happy with whats left , Ok use a low disturbance disc drill, off i went to my understanding neighbour with an ageing Moore unidrill, Borrowed it and no better just left open slots , albeit narrower but still open and wet ,oh and blocked 3 coulters FFS we only went 100 yards. So is it too wet , pretty obvious that one, What do i do , what do i use , what have i done wrong My thoughts are WAIT , but "patience is a virtue seldom in a woman , never in a Middleton " [/QUOTE]
