Ok, so in our keenness to get on drilling, we made a mistake by drilling a 57 acre block before we had soil tests back. Of course that was the one block that needed lime .
Put at the back of my mind and thought "do it in the spring".
Of course so far a pretty rubbish and wet spring .
32 acres of the 57 is flying and is already pretty tall, a foot high - drilled 23rd sept. The rest not quite as forward but looking pretty well.
Question is do I get the lime spread?, the following week looks good at the mo. Light ground but is v wet as of yesterday evening.
All results are between 5.9 and 5.3. I am a little worried about damaging so much of the forward wheat with the spreader.
