[QUOTE="lady luck, post: 7594893, member: 9975"] I'm in my fifth year of strip tilling following a more traditional plough/power harrow based system. I had some decent results in the first few years but the last two wet autumn /winters have not been so great. My main problem is the blackgrass is getting out of hand, I don't think my predrilling passes with the stubble rake are aggressive enough. On the light land ryegrass is an increasing problem as well, I don't think spreading my FYM without incorporating before drilling is helping with this. I think I need to buy a shallow drag/cultivator of some kind to work the top inch of soil as soon as I can after harvest and then stir it around with my rake a couple of times before drilling. I've already invested a lot of money in all this so didn't want to buy anything shiny and new, I'm hoping something old and cheap will do the job for me. I would appreciate any advice on what cultivator/drag would work well in this situation and any other suggestions you might have. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
