[QUOTE="mikep, post: 3054548, member: 4999"] I used a generalisation to which there are always differences but in a once typical two wheats one rape with ploughing the soil on will fall to the resting value of that soil. Ploughing up a long term ley would see a decline and OK you can add as much o m as you want but without the action of deep healthy roots and the associated soil fauna it is just that an addition not incorporated into the soil in a proper manner. Muck is not o m as such but soil o m precursor. Maybe your rotation/soils cope well with shallower roots but here I have found that I can add what I want but it is only cosmetic compared to a grass ley. [/QUOTE]
