[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4203470, member: 63856"] Thanks but it's not me doing anything- I do far less of everything than everyone around me does. And have much more reliable growth, if it gets hot, cold, wet, dry, it keeps on a truckin' where the other's grass stops and slows down. That is a combination of OM and structure, high OM soils warm up faster, hold nutrients better, let air and water into the subsoil......:censored::whistle: Regards scald - any lame lambs simply go in front onto the longest possible cover to recover. Into this.[ATTACH=full]571440[/ATTACH] Re fert- well there's better ones than others. Too much N creates a poor state just as not enough. But sulphur and lime, MAP, are very gentle and encourage good soils. Round length is variable and whatever works - but "wasteage" is a foolish notion IMO. Because of the commercial aspects of farming "waste" is frowned upon - but consider the recycling aspect for a minute and that speaks volumes. You can't waste very much in a pastoral system. ;) My main issue here is lack of diversity in the sward and I'm aiming to introduce many more herbs and deep rooted species as they all contribute to something. I have PRG clovers Cocksfoot Timothy and plantain mainly - aiming to introduce even more legumes and plantain, chicory, sheeps parsley, lotus etc. Sainfoin is unavailable here but working on that :) And then will aim to get chickens following the mobs to chainharrow for me.. Few pigs to turn the compost, etc Then I don't have worm issues as the cycle is broken. Borderline insanity :whistle: Still generates a lot more food per acre than a forest. [/QUOTE]
