[QUOTE="yellow belly, post: 5880404, member: 305"] My grand father who started farming in the 1920s when asked about organic farming and not using chemicals said he would never want to go back to a chemical free farming system Hoeing was the main weed control and was very hard work keeping many people employed I no till all my crops using a fraction of the fuel and tractor hours we used to use there is much more wildlife in my fields worm numbers have multiplied many times there is a whole ecosystem of soil living animals that are much reduced by cultivation Without round up or an equivalent chemical the plough is the only option My cultivating neighbours all use round up in greater quantities per ha with more passes per year than my once per crop I am now looking at swathing rape again as it relies on the highest dose and serves very little purpose last year due to drought we left rape undesicated [/QUOTE]
