[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 4729634, member: 1233"] The trouble is that the very situation that you might think needs subsoiling is normally caused by either mismanagement or bad weather and almost always both. However, in that instance ( wet soil ) the very last thing you should be doing is subsoiling. Often if you can get a decent plant establishment, and that may mean doing a bit of shallow cultivation, the situation can soon be rectified. If I had an area of ground that repeatedly didn’t grow a crop and I got an opportunity in ideal conditions to subsoil then I would use it as a tool to avoid having to wait for the soil to sort itself out but I would re-consolidate it well otherwise I’d just end up making the situation worse. No till is like playing a game of snakes and ladders, wet harvests are small snakes, ploughing is a big one. Running a subsoiler through in ideal conditions and re consolidating could be a little ladder but often doing nothing can be a bigger one. [/QUOTE]
