Will be direct drilled with an overseeding mixHow did you do it? Drill or broadcast?
Do you think that's enough Red seeing as there is two thirds less seed in a kilo as opposed to White Clover?Will be direct drilled with an overseeding mix
@1kg per acre
Grass 10kg per acre
kev is also a seed rep , he gives some excellent advice as well , as for myself I'm for most a farmer , involved in the family since I was a child , beef sheep dairy and arable over the years on 650 acres which I now manage myself since dad passed away , we also rent land to Adas for their field trialsThe issue I always find is 'reps' are told to tout all they can. @Kevtherev mentioned last night a lot of this valuable information is self taught through trial and error in an open forum where said reps can the push as their experience or 'knowledge'
I put that in with a Tine Harrow with a mounted air seeder , the sward was open and did a good job , give it a good rolling after , works out cheaper than the disc drill , tines down hard and sprinkled the seed on top , drills can put Clover to deep if not carefull ,I used the disc drill for grass seed into turf mindWhat was your method? Drill our broadcast?
Eye, maybe because they've not got the full measure of you just yet, and your by no means as argumentative or as down right a rude f**king knowall on there either. I generally take no interest in how much a man farms and less in a man that feels the need to tell me how much he farms and even less in a man that tells me how long he's been farming. So really if you feel the need to back up your credentials to that much a point then surly there must be something wrong with your sales pitch and delivery of information, as I've said before, if it even is your sales pitch or your information, I doubt it iskev is also a seed rep , he gives some excellent advice as well , as for myself I'm for most a farmer , involved in the family since I was a child , beef sheep dairy and arable over the years on 650 acres which I now manage myself since dad passed away , we also rent land to Adas for their field trials
I enjoy talking to farmers and trying to help if I can , but makes no odds to me I'm getting near retirment age and just as happy cycling around the country on my bike , I've certainly got no time for the constant snipping on here.
I post a lot on the BFF Facebook page and they are all polite and friendly on there
,
Bit of an addition really to try and get some deep roots in.There is a white clover blend in the mix too will keep you posted how it behaves being direct drilled.Do you think that's enough Red seeing as there is two thirds less seed in a kilo as opposed to White Clover?
Just interested in your views.
When someone questions your right to speak then forgive me if I try and defend myself lolEye, maybe because they've not got the full measure of you just yet, and your by no means as argumentative or as down right a rude f**king knowall on there either.

Mine is my own meandering experience and the odd bit of joy I get from taking pictures of my grass.....I like grass
Yes please thanks!!I had some spare and stitched some into existing PP, I'll keep you updated if you want? I'm not holding much hope as its a very thick old thatchy type stuff
No that sounds about rightSomething that I meant to ask, if you're applying liquid slurry to a red clover/prg mix what method of application is preferred? It's a contractor that spreads my slurry and I have the option of an injector, trailing shoe, dribble bar and splash plate.
The idea in my head is to sow some this August with composted dung, then 100kg/ha of 18-6-12 in the spring year 1, 1500-2000gal/ac of good slurry after each cut and compost in October. Am I mad?
Yes yes yes.Can it be sown in the Autumn so that it's ready to go the following spring?
First cut is 50kgs Acre for me, if you can get it on before the RC starts growing it gives it a nice little kick and really wakes the clover up to much and you'll kill itWho puts fert on in the first season?
How much?
Have put some on for first cut (50kgM/ha) as I know it doesn't start fixing from the off, thinking about doing 2nd cut?
This is a silage herbal ley with 3kg/acre red clover seed...
Last year I put 5.24.24 in the seed bed X 100 kg acre, nothing after ,Who puts fert on in the first season?
