[QUOTE="Northern Luke, post: 8583115, member: 172216"] Soil type will play a role here. DTS is very good, but wide spacing and will find stones if you have any, a tine drill will help get underneath the seed and allow roots to go down, you can lift the ground a bit as well. Do you incorporating manures, suppose you have a plough for this but something to think about with drill choice. Disc drills will cause a lot less soil disturbance, but you need good conditions to get even seed depth without compaction, and I guess this is where you've seen it 'hit and miss'. Medium clay loam should cope with both drills, I'd say if it's the start of a journey go for a tine drill, and maybe in time you can go disc once the soils have adapted. (I'm using a sky drill and DTS, only plough one in six for potatoes) [/QUOTE]
