[QUOTE="jing0, post: 6453238, member: 137494"] [USER=5589]@Kidds[/USER], [USER=106748]@GeorgeK[/USER], thank you for the replies. I will have a discussion with my partner about using glyphosate but we're both very reluctant to use herbicides. [USER=305]@yellow belly[/USER], probably well over 100 years! I don't think it's actually been farmed in living memory. [USER=116570]@Strungup52[/USER], haha that's a problem for 2020! Need to amend the soil and plant before I even think about harvesting. [USER=55784]@AndrewM[/USER], license is in progress and yes - it's for planting in 2020. Crossing my fingers at the moment hoping it goes through. Another problem is that it can take months and months to come through, and they give you 0 updates as to its progress. So my plans might have to be put on hold till the autumn or later whilst I wait for the license as I don't want to invest in amendments until it does. The land hasn't been farmed before so does have really high OM already. Why do you recommend mowing the grass? Just so there's less biomass there for ploughing in autumn? Would it not just grow back? In any case, waiting till Autumn might be a better idea anyway, for licensing reasons. So perhaps your second option is best! Thanks again all for the replies. Really grateful for all the help!
