I was wondering about the paddock youwould like to re seed by leaving it to grow longer. If you graze it very lightly, the animals will get the benefit of it while it is very palatable, they will trample some, but a lot will continue growing and will reseed itself. That way when the cows return they will have three kinds of grass on offer. Or were you thinking of cutting it for hay once it has matured some more?Been playing around with the pizza sliced fields lately on 24hr moves mainly maybe 36hrs on the slightly bigger areas. Everything had 50kg per acre of 20-10-10 the week before to avoid cold turkey so we should get some quick regrowth
Threw some clover in with fert with the idea cows will tread it in as they go.
The left side of pic below is 5 days after the above pics.
Cow dung is very sloppy and not holding together well but I guess that’s the rich spring grass not helping.
A little damage around the water area as we got 3 wet days last week but I’ll throw a little seed on here on the last day for cows to tread in. Can’t really do much about it really as it’s the only water in here until I get a portable bowser or something else rigged up.
Mowing land below got same fert as above 2 weeks ago.
Probably ready for cutting now as it’s above my knees. I normally would but I’ve decided to let it go to seed this year as I haven’t done that for the last 5 or so years.
I may be kicking myself in a few weeks though as weather is great at the moment and will probably turn poo when I want to crack on.
