[QUOTE="Tim W, post: 8074986, member: 72"] From my experience on a mixed/organic/extensive farming system i reckon there is no simple answer but--- The plough /arable cropping is the best way Leaving a pasture without sheep for a year is the next best thing but to make gains you really want to open up the ground to UV light (worms hate UV)---make hay when there's lots of sun We did an ADAS study in the late '80's and it always amazed me how fast a clean pasture(no sheep for 12 months) got re-infected ---but when you think how many eggs can come out of the back end of one sheep in a day it shouldn't be a surprise [/QUOTE]
