[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6726548, member: 63856"] [ATTACH type="full"]853370[/ATTACH] Bit of a different set-up to the other direct drills I've used. Just as well it isn't swinging on the linkage! I'd need to pour concrete into my bucket to keep the nose down, 2600kg for a 3 metre drill (empty) is quite a bit. Spraying contractor is coming on Saturday, I was going to use a light (250ml/ha) rate of glypho + 1 litre/ha of liquid humate but I'm going to attempt something similar with salt + vinegar + humate, see if we can't do 'a chemical top' and scald the slugs at the same time. They suggest 90g of glypho per hectare for chemical topping (250ml of G360) so we're going to use 120g of salt, a litre of vinegar, a litre of my sea brew and 1.5l liquid humate Really quite keen to see if it works, even if it just makes the tough grass taste nicer it will be a 'sort of success' but I'm always confident. Chap at Southern Humates gave me 20 litres free of charge as he's also keen to watch someone guinea-pig things..... [/QUOTE]
