[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7618235, member: 63856"] Most graziers in reliable climates have such short summertime recovery periods that doubling it is likely nowhere near enough to get the full benefit of work put in. if you look at it from a "composting in-situ" angle then you kinda leave it alone til it's done what it needs to do. It's not really dissimilar to bale-grazing and if you do that in winter it takes a fair while to come back, because you made tonnes of the stuff. Likewise if Ian comes back to it in autumn, he won't use as much density or duration in that pass, because it's effectively "a new pasture" and will respond in a similar way. It'll probably chuck up the same weeds as it would if you went grass-grass by discing it and throwing vast quantities of seed at it we call them "rainy day projects" - sort of a two-finger salute to what normal folk do on a rainy day... hence trying to do a bit of that over winter when it comes down from above. We had 84mm this week so that softened it up a little If you make the areas small enough, then skipping an ac out isn't going to cost much. [/QUOTE]
