[QUOTE="Aspiring Peasants, post: 6471856, member: 198"] I think there is a lot of truth in this. We bought some very neglected grassland 6 years ago which hadn't been reseeded for many years. The first year the buttercups made it look like a field of oilseed rape and they were just hiding the thistles and nettles.etc. It was sprayed with forefront, some drains fixed, limed and dressed with high P&K fertilizer as the indices were nearer 1 than 2. It's been mucked every year and gets a couple of bags to the acre of 20:10:10 (I'm very old fashioned and still work with units per acre). Yields have increased by (as measured by bales) by about 75%. The next stage was to reseed but I've been questioning whether to especially if we are going to have a tough few years. [/QUOTE]
