[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7338569, member: 63856"] Much better today 😎 thanks everybody for the healing vibes and good wishes 💚 Nice of the cattle to take all the buds of the thistles for us. Saves them letting seed go everywhere in a month or 2 .[ATTACH type="full"]932185[/ATTACH] Also notice there's quite a nice bounce from the roots; 2 days this side, and 4 days the other side of fence. The joy of rainfall, that soaks away.[ATTACH type="full"]932186[/ATTACH] Did the usual daily infiltration check.. About 160 litres in this trough.[ATTACH type="full"]932187[/ATTACH] Tip out and time until the surface is making the suck sound and how far it spreads across the surface.. about 4m²? [ATTACH type="full"]932188[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]932189[/ATTACH] ...and 120 seconds neat til "the popping candy noise" 160 ÷ 4m² is roughly 40litres per m², or the equivalent to an instant 40mm of rain in 2 minutes That's what we always find here so it's comforting as we go to a different level of grazing that we are not overimpacting it. Because it looks nude to me!! 😱 As it's the most trafficked area, I kinda think it makes it more repeatable than picking a random place and tapping in a cylinder. 🤷♂️ as with the pasture observations, if we look at the "most grazed" plants then it's more repeatable in terms of figuring a recovery time than guessing averages or admiring the clumps. We want to "be better than average" at what we do. [/QUOTE]
