[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7783870, member: 54866"] Soil test first. Lime as required. Apply muck or slurry to suit requirements. Spray the weeds out next year. Thistles shouldn't be too hard. Will need to be grazed and looked after so the sown grasses dominate the any blackgrass about. Being an annual it won't like being grazed and trodden on a lot, but beware overgrazing and leaving bare patches for blackgrass to seed into or grow out of from the seed bank. I would suggest the owner lets you farm it properly and cut or graze it hard/repeatedly for the next 4 years or he won't get the benefit of the break from arable. [/QUOTE]
