[QUOTE="JMTHORNLEY, post: 7258497, member: 53424"] I have had some similarish results with a very old PP bit of ground of ours this summer. I subsoiled, dropped a drain in where it needed it and hammered with lime then rotovated and used winfred for the first time instead of a turnip or kale mixture. I was very impressed with the results. Grazed the kale early because our sowing window for a back end grass reseed is pretty short. Here’s some results and some more figures if anyone’s interested PH before 5.5 PH after 7 P before 1.1 K beofre 0.9 P after 1.8 K after 1.6 I rotovated 10/12T to the acre of fresh bedding muck into the kale reseed then 100kgs to the acre of P&K out the bag for grass reseed cattle were held tight and back fenced onto the fodder crop so as not to loose any valuable P&K [ATTACH type="full"]923221[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]923220[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]923219[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]923218[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]923217[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]923216[/ATTACH] Last picture has had 15 lambs per are for 3 weeks and they’ve hardly touched it.
