Sorry Kev, should have tagged you as well, but new you were already watching the thread and figured a PM had already been sent
*Edit - @hally, Didn't know you sold seed, but will try and tag you next time
If you can do this the clover will recover, so a very quick easy way to reestablish a high clover content sward.
Think nz call it chemical topping.
Mistakes will happen. A busy time of the year possibly complicated with the weather. Plenty would not even admit what happened (perhaps I wouldn't have either).what a plonker.....
Get it mowed, baled and dd with grass again. Soil test first and fix indices /lime as appropriate. Then chalk it down to experience.
You can be sure it's one mistake won't happen again!

If that were possible I have 300 acre here I might accidentally have burnt off.
one of my 'classics' ..[when younger and less 'thorough'] was not flushing spray lines properly, dead ends etc

Are there good long term leys available for £35/ac?
I've not found any, but I am all ears if others have.

Don't worry you are already using a premium mixture but just not paying £60.00 for it.@Great In Grass Think you can make a sale here if people are paying £60 an acre for good grass seed. Or is that some dairy (premium) grade grass that I won't entertain

Short and only answer is no, if you want to buy cheaper buy from someone who is the furthest away from you.

Edit: When buying grass seed the question of price should be the last thing asked or you don't know what your paying for.
It would have to be pretty special to be over £60 around here
Cheers, I just realised who you are as somebody pointed you out at H and H one day. Small world ( but I wouldn't want to paint it )Sorry Kev, should have tagged you as well, but new you were already watching the thread and figured a PM had already been sent

Have you looked at the Nickerson web site lately, some over £70.00It would have to be pretty special to be over £60 around here
turned into the tightarse thread
To be honest I did this years ago spraying rushes on some land we had bought thought it was MCPA not glyphosate. Just told everybody I was reseeding it ( 10 acres ) but to be honest a couple of passes with the Moore and it was such an improvement we did another 50 acres in the end.
I have never told anybody the mistake.................until now

I suppose if you go for organic or a few of our specialist mixes the rrp is up there but who sells at the full recommended price?Have you looked at the Nickerson web site lately, some over £70.00

The stuff was put on at 1/3 the recommended rate so it was diluted a good bit. Plan to bale it and stitch grass in. Hopefully that works.
