[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 7063911, member: 44728"] What are everybody's views on the importance of rolling behind a GD? I'm chuffed to bits on how much time and how many operations I save using the GD (Ploughing, power-harrowing, Combi drilling) but am unsure about the benefit of rolling, come what may on every occasion. Having done his demonstration in early April on a deliberately chosen field with very variable soil-types, Simon recommended that we roll it soon after. Trying to roll the day after had absolutely no effect whatsoever. I could not see it helping, let alone see where I had been! [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_0962.JPG"]897869[/ATTACH] My preference for choosing the GD is massively based upon the fact of absolute minimum soil disturbance in my battle against Blackgrass. It seems to me that the rear wheel rollers on the drill are all that is necessary to firm the seed enough. If Rolling is having no effect on enhancing germination, why risk disturbing the soil between the slots which might cause a flush of Blackgrass or any other weeds? What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
