[QUOTE="KB6930, post: 6769069, member: 13342"] There's a few round here that are shallow discing cover crop in or direct drilling and this year it's been a disaster due to late drilling and wet conditions where in a normal year its 3ft tall this year 3inch has been the norm . We put our first cover crops in behind winter barley this year but due to straw lying it was a month late it was just spread off the back of the sumo worked 8 inch deep and it was still growing fine in mid January when someone put sheep on to graze it . It was about a foot tall and reasonably thick but could have been better if it got off to a better start . As I said before there's a few that have jumped headlong into DD and it's not been a good season to start there's a lot of re drilling to do in the spring [/QUOTE]
