[QUOTE="Mr Charisma, post: 4286850, member: 2907"] Possibly going to try a couple of fields of DD this autumn ,,,,,, there may be a few of you who remember my first go back in 2011 / 2012 which was fairly well documented on BFF Anyway have a 2 or 3 fields that we might have another go on this year ,,,,, first field is possibly our heaviest field which is just coming out of a 2 year temp lay , just took the trio into the field to see what it might look like and after 20 yds I stopped because I realised that I might be missing a trick ,,,, originally I dismissed the idea of DD because of the compaction from trailer traffic but having taken a spade to the field I was quite pleased to see how well it dug , we were also pleased to see what a good root system the clover had put down over 2 years , so that's the first field ,,,,,,, the second is after winter beans , lovely friable tilth on the top 2 inches and not bad underneath that just a bit wetter . The one concern I have is that this field is on a fair bank and the combine scratched itself in a bit leaving tyre marks up hill but no where near as bad as in years gone by .... So weapon of choice ,,,,,, in a perfect world I would probably of liked a cross slot on the turf and a JD on the bean stubble , but no JD in the area so a cross slot it will be as I have one not many miles away which could possibly come to me next week ,,,,, will be a interesting little experiment for us [/QUOTE]
