What are the views on the best machine for overseeding clover into open swarms we have a Duncan renovator and an Erth agriseeder but was thinking more a gutter for more shallow seed depth opinions please
Surface seeding is fine, keeping the established grass down is more important that getting technical with application of seed.What are the views on the best machine for overseeding clover into open swarms we have a Duncan renovator and an Erth agriseeder but was thinking more a gutter for more shallow seed depth opinions please
Chuck a cup full of seed into fert spreader along with 2 bags of fertilizer in springI have a Simtech, but it stays in the shed if I just want to add clover seed.
My weapon of choice is a slug pelleter, when the grass is grazed/mown tight so there is bare soil, and ahead of forecast rain. Ideally run a big mob of sheep over after spreading, for their feet to tread it down. It works every bit as well as any other method I've tried, without germinating any weed seeds.
Save the money that the drilling would have cost and spend it on more clover seed.
I think you're missing the point.Chuck a cup full of seed into fert spreader along with 2 bags of fertilizer in spring

What rate do you put it on at.had to spray 3 fields for docks an killed all the clover.was thinking of just putting some seed on with the slug pelleterI have a Simtech, but it stays in the shed if I just want to add clover seed.

A grass harrow like the einbok would be better than them and roll after the seed is put on .What are the views on the best machine for overseeding clover into open swarms we have a Duncan renovator and an Erth agriseeder but was thinking more a gutter for more shallow seed depth opinions please
forgot fert is going to be a grand a tonne so clover is the new fert sorrrrryyyeeeeI think you're missing the point.
Clover need a soli temperature of at least 10c for 10 weeks for the best take. I think you may be a couple of days late.Wondering how late you can sow clover, I was thinking of chucking some into the almost empty slurry tank which is mostly water mix it well & then tanker spread?

The voice of experience.Dont bother
Wasn't planning to leave it in for more than a few hours, whilst working on the motorways driving excavators when much younger all the batters were seeded by lorry tankers spaying water containing seed up over the steep batters through a gun mounted on top.and all seed does when its submerged in water is rot. I thought every farmer knew that ?
You be better off throwing some clover in the pipe every time you hitch it onWasn't planning to leave it in for more than a few hours, whilst working on the motorways driving excavators when much younger all the batters were seeded by lorry tankers spaying water containing seed up over the steep batters through a gun mounted on top.

short while wont hurt ,too long and it will drown .,far too random mixing with that slurry and field spreading tho.Wasn't planning to leave it in for more than a few hours, whilst working on the motorways driving excavators when much younger all the batters were seeded by lorry tankers spaying water containing seed up over the steep batters through a gun mounted on top.
