[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 6921234, member: 63856"] Yes, it most certainly is. We are brought up with the notion that the most resilient and adaptable forage species are the weeds, and what we grow in their place is to be nurtured at any expense. But the thing is, it does get expensive, or it can; if we keep everything from reproducing then we have to take on that expense. Otherwise, you could choose "life", and have free fertiliser and reseeds for the rest of your career. To do this we really need to abandon "the prescription", eg look how well that's worked for blackgrass control in cereal crops.. The mindset is wrong. The weeds are necessary because there is no continuity of living roots to feed the soil, and little groundcover or nutrient cycling. You can't solve the problem with the same thinking that caused the problem. Maybe the crop is the problem? [/QUOTE]
