What do you sow stewardship / sfi seeds with ?

[bobk]

I've got an accord 4m or a slug pelleter ?

 

[Wolds Beef]

Wasn't thinking now .

Last Summer/ Autumn I sowed over 150 acres of herbal ley with a slug pelleter.
Most importantly it was effective.
3 times over but at least I was doing 20 km/h

Yes I know I was mad but I didn’t want to risk losing a fields worth first time round with the spinner.
Neither did I want to use either our Rapid or Weaving drill as I didn’t want it in rows.

Any cultivation ?

Any cultivation ?

Plenty, mainly Trio, Carrier, power harrow spin on then roll in.
All on heavy ground
(50 ac in a village called Claydon)

 

[Wigeon]

Guttler supermax with seeder sprinkling in front of following harrows.

 

[HarryB97]

Light disc then blow it onto the surface with my Horsch sprinter. Set the coulters 8-12 inches off the ground and turn the fan up, then roll in.

 

[Norfolk Olly]

The best results we have had have been with our rapid, coulters just above the ground then use the following harrow quite aggressively.

 

[nick...]

Drilled all mine with amazone combination with no pressure on the discs.all seed buried and rolled afterwards
nick…

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Ive also used a Fiddle.Vicon Wagtail and an Acord as well as the contractors machines shown
Results are more or less the same although i prefer broadcasting to drilling where possible.
But its pretty irrelevant how its spread
The important part is how its put in or not

I've bought this,applied for a grant,great service from Bullock Tillage,and not stupid money, going to mount it to the Claydon straw rake(which hasn't seen much action)

The only isue that could crop up with a tine harrow seeder is dragging if seed if there is any surface trash , we somtimes need to seed with tines off the ground and roll the seed in

 

[Old Spot]

Slit aerator, broadcast with stocks slug pelleter, grass harrow and roll.
I’ll let you know

We did a 20 acre field with a Stewardship mix this year with our Amazone 24m pneumatic spreader, which we use for Avadex applications on our cereal ground. We swapped the rollers out for the fert rollers to help the flow of seed and it worked a treat. Nice even cover, corner to corner. Rolled pre and post spreading and has come about well.

 

[Derrick Hughes]

As anyone used a straw rake with the front disc to form a seedbed

We do a fair bit of overseeding with one into grass ,but if we do a few passes we have to be careful
