[QUOTE="Selectamatic, post: 3790588, member: 2813"] Expecting some B&B lambs this week, I put up a make do fence to keep them out of my barley. I have a small piece of what was an old orchard, it's a nuisance of a place really, not fit to do anything with other than graze, so some livestock will help keep the place tidy and in order. While there I had a walk round with a Knapsack and gave stingy nettles a squirt of Grazon, the stingers are creeping out from the hedges and slowly getting hold further into the field, while there I took my camera too... [ATTACH=full]512652[/ATTACH] Grass is coming along, slowly, but it should make some good hay, weather permitting... [ATTACH=full]512648[/ATTACH] The barley is looking well on the whole, but in dire need of some rain, interestingly it has some rows which are much yellower than their neighbours, pretty consistently through in this little patch, but not shown in the field beyond the far hedge in the photo. I recon it's due to a couple (or three...) fertiliser coulters blocking when sowing, so these will not have had any fert, therefore lacking something causing them to turn yellow? [ATTACH=full]512650[/ATTACH] What would you do to correct this now? In fairness it seems to be getting better, and I expect it to improve again after a good soaking of rain (whenever that is due!) I was thinking of giving it a dose of nitrogen, but equally, perhaps it does not need it? [/QUOTE]
