Soil washing away

[quattro]

silt could be easily resolved if ditches were cleaned out before the silt got to the rivers
and probably a lot cheaper if they let farmers do it
o yes that’s what they used to before ea = environment r soles got involved in the job

I remember ploughing warp land with a 4000 and 2 furrow reversible plough and hitting bog oaks, would stop you dead and you slid forward into gearstick, very painful

I associate bog Oak with fenland peats or silt over peat. Most of the ploughing I've done has been with a 4f dowdeswell behind an 8150 mf on clay. So not an experience I've had. I dont expect I'll ever plough any warp land.

But when spuds get full canopy nothing will grow any way ?

But its when they are putting on canopy that you need irrigation for scab control, either that or its peeing down anyway. if the "Great" British public could be weaned away from piper and onto varieties with lower susceptibilty to scab it would be ideal.
