[QUOTE="chester, post: 8498170, member: 911"] No we are not on stone free ground, we have patches of sandstone some of which is rugby ball size. We destone to full depth ie we want 275mm of separated soil to plant into. So long as we have 75mm of destoned soil under the seed tuber we don’t catch anything with the share. If we go too deep we fill the trench . The bedformer we use leaves a line about 150mm up from the bottom of the trench. We use this as a target so we get consistent wheelings iyswim. We take the pick up hitch off the destoning tractor so it doesn’t bull doze soil back into the wheelings. We can’t afford to compromise as this we be a backward step. So we achieve this by making incremental changes and checking that we are still achieving our parameters. [/QUOTE]
