[QUOTE="Clive, post: 595812, member: 6"] I know what your saying but heavy rain can also run off hard dry ground if soil is poorly structured, I'm amazed how quickly some of these changes are happening, I always though it would be at least 5 years before tangible difference in my soil could be seen Despite being extremely dry here right now my soils are still spongy to walk, I can (and am) direct drilling into them without a problem they wouldn't have been like that a few years ago as comparison I can go to a few fields with more recent tillage history (due to potatoes in 2013) that are set like concrete that would not be possible to drill until we get some rain and took this mornings heavy shower much worse still walking wet after lunch Last time it was this dry here through autumn establishment I recall a bill for Simba solo wearing metal of near 30k !!!! That's more than my drill is worth now ! [/QUOTE]
