[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7861534, member: 86168"] we are always on the look out for pans, and they don't necessarily occur, where you think, even stone brash can respond well to being s/s. Even in fields, it can vary. Here, the sandier the soil, the greater the risk. We 'missed' a pan, in a field, in a d/d case, 1st grazing, bit light, 2nd, AMG 90%, hole dug, 5ins down, solid. We s/s 15ins, every 12ins, and when ploughed, it was still hard to plough. The main point to realise, is, if you don't look, you don't know, is that 'poor' patch, just poor, or is their a reason. Modern machinery, is not only large, it's heavy, to heavy really, and take note of tyres, super singles, beloved by contractors, and some farmers, are horrendous, and plenty never even think about the soil damage, they do. So, my advice is, if you have a poor bit of ground, dig a hole, see what's there, count the worms, how far do the roots go down, how easily does the spade go in, etc. That should be done, [B]before[/B] deciding on a reseed, otherwise, you could be wasting your money, and, spades don't cost a lot.
