New long term ley seed mix

[Sid]

I know from experience that I have to spray autumn Reseeds here , that's one of the reasons l like direct drilling as I can get on the land to do it , ploughed cultivated ground would be to soft here

Perhaps of you ploughed it you wouldn't have to spray toxic chemicals all over it,?

Grazing with sheep kills chickweed and helps the grass tiller.
A win win imho

some seed went a bit deep looks like it , was a bit plumb when sown but none the less rolled before sowing.
also took a heck of battering the other day from thunder rain intense cloudbursts mind you.

Little update in this.

Pics taken this morning. I as grazed for a few weeks with ewes with fresh lambs. Then been shut up since 25th march. No fert as yet.

It’s growing away nicely.

Doesn't that show that in some cases fertiliser is a waste of money?

l think many of us will learn a lot about fert, this year.
we have plenty of grass, for first round of grazing, so only fert after 1st graze, but the grass is greening up behind them, even where we haven't been with N. What we don't know, is if it will affect grass growth, later on.

I’m thinking lime is better value in some instances at moment.

There’s a bit of chick weed in places but grass growth is smothering it mostly I hope.

Nice but of clover in the base.
