[QUOTE="NewFarm, post: 3623630, member: 4400"] I want to establish approximately 25acres of herbal ley this year. Goals are to improve soil structure and fertility, and provide decent forage for sheep grazing. Plan to plough to get a fresh start, Glypho is not an option. After ploughing, plan to consolidate, and try to get a 3-4 weed flushes and mechanical kills before planting. Weed pressure is not terrible, but i do have some thistles. I will put on some ground lime after ploughing. Probably looking to plant early may (weather dependent). I may do half as spring and half as autumn down to spread my risk a little. Does the above sound reasonable? What is best practice once planted in terms of management? [/QUOTE]
