Kev's Grass renovation thread

Looks good for the weather Kev. Did that have elephants on it or left as is?

Left as is customer wanted to roll it but we decided to leave the sheep on it to tread it in seems to have worked.
Damp down in but it would benefit from showers

Hopefully my critics will now eat their hats unless of course the elephants have trodden on them.....

Fair play to you . I must confess I had my doubts but as they say, every day is (or should be) a learning day.

Trouble is on here people are very critical of others but I never see evidence of their work [emoji106]
Hurrells use DLF Trifolium they are one of their grass suppliers amongst others[emoji106]

I like dlf stuff. Seems to grow well and do what is says on the tin.

It does my ex college colleague sold it in his previous job (agronomist) he's quite handy with more technical stuff[emoji106]

Looks like a good strike despite the dry conditions, and scarcity of elephants, was a good call leaving it open (not the call I'd have made from over here).
Will be good to see it in another few weeks and after a grazing too [emoji106] will it be grazed or cut?

Grazed but may be harvested if there's a lot of grass

Prob now if rains will the other grasses now out compete the seedlings ,better root structures and have recovered since initial setback of sowing cause of the dryness

yep thats what can happen old grasses with better root systems can beat new grasses .. also shade out new clovers etc
