That's me off to the naughty step 😅

Field had been previously ploughed badly, so decision made to try and rectify as much as possible

Might be better topped of first for complete burial but Even ploughing down kale/ rape stumps / turnip waste is a darn good call , as it saves it down under for later new plant use. , rather than left on top to oxidise/ desicate away to nothing.(n)

Also it makes sowing seed easier , better and seedlings dont get there little heads bowed down and yellowed....:sick:

That's drought tolerant, it still won't grow much!
Timothy is an odd one , most seed companies will include in in a dry ground mix as it's deep rooting even though they state it does better on heavy land
It will thrive in the dry for 4 to 5 years then it's starts to thin out , problem is it's not an ideal grass for Over seeding, nietheris Cocksfoot
This is my little trail plot
My back law in Sussex that's pure chalk , the picture shows what grass is thriving , meadow grass , I have overseeded some Festulolium which is doing well and also put some turfs in from fields at home
