[QUOTE="Highland Farmer, post: 7504834, member: 40586"] Good video. I would of liked to have seen a control crop without that Biorga Quick on it for comparison. Those organic fertilizers are good but they sure eat into the profit margin. We tried drilling oats into clover one year but the clover was too strong and smothered the oats. I'm yet to be convinced there is much difference for organic between the crimping, discing or shallow ploughing as the green matter is all near the surface and the subsoil is relatively undisturbed. I have tried growing rape and turnips into a min tilled cover crop with varying success, to be honest the areas that did best were where the most muck was spread... not rocket science! IMO when they do those studies I like to see one plot where they till and leave bare so you can get an idea of the initial weed bank they're dealing with, one plot without any "special" additives and one plot with the full works. Then you can really determine what is working and what the effect of each of the treatments really is. [/QUOTE]
