Much Astrokerb still to apply?

[Zippy768]

Just trying to make myself feel better.
Much of it still to do?
Weather looks suitable for tomorrow, unsure ground is, and short on time myself

Yep. You are not alone. I forecast Xmas day or New Years Eve will be suitable days!!

Waiting for ground to dry up and the osr to open up more. Late January application last year did an excellent job. 25ha with some steep banks.

I don't forecast those days suitable tbh

 

[Zippy768]

Dry day today is drizzling/misty.

Cutoff end of feb?

Think its end of Jan. Did some this year about then & still helped
But cant see me getting near any OSR with anything on wheels until march.

Yep, end of feb.
Tbh only had the rec and go ahead 2 weeks ago

 

[SilliamWhale]

Not even thought about it yet. Usually do it in January

Remember being advised to chop the osr straw which we mostly do anyways & it was also all ploughed in

 

[cquick]

Loads of time yet. I'm leaving it until 2024, might have dried up a bit by then.

 

[nxy]

We haven't turned a wheel on the land since mid October.
Definitely still too warm here for Kerb anyway. 14 degrees a couple of days ago and its barely been dropping below 8-10 degrees at night with unending rain.

When it comes cold here it normally dries up so fingers crossed.

 

[T Hectares]

Not done by any yet, hoping to get it on Friday/Saturday

End of Jan cut off

 

[APJ]

No panic, will get done when ground conditions allow not rushing to make a rut.

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Was tempted on the frost a fortnight ago but too much snow cover and now bottomless

 

[Serup]

My OSR is still in the bag
I got rained out untill it was too late to drill.
So both Kerb and seed is in the shed, hoping for better conditions next year....

Did you have better luck with the wheat ?

Did you have better luck with the wheat ?

Yes, it’s all in the ground. I’m not sure how much will make it to the spring, we’ve had record amounts of rain since, but i hope for over 90%.

It’s been a special year, which is more and more often here. We had a very wet spring, so we started late. Then i didn’t rain for 2 month, and all spring crops except maize has been a disaster, my neighbourgh didn’t even combine his spinach. Harvest was very wet, baling was a nightmare, with 3x the balerhours on rakes and tedders. We haven’t used those so much since 2011. Then when it was too late for osr drilling, we had a few weeks with dry weather, and then the sky opened for weeks. There is standing water in maybe 5% of the area here and has been for the most time in 2 month now. The drain capacity is too small for these amounts.
