[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 7400487, member: 1233"] They do dd fine although most would say you can’t. The truth is that although most advise is that they don’t like compaction I’ve planted them as a cover, with a mix of almost everything else, in some land that was very compacted and only the Lupins grew. It was interesting to note that in one of the copies is of direct driller magazine the people promoting tillage radish rated the tillage radish second in rooting ability after a lupin. You must use inoculated seed, the rhizobium needed for nodulation doesn’t occur naturally in UK soils. It’s also illegal to farm save Lupin seed, seed borne disease has been kept out of the UK and it needs to remain the case. Don’t use N in the seedbed, you’ll restrict nodulation and end up with a lower yield. [/QUOTE]
