It would suit me to plant roots again in the same patch after last winters roots. How naughty is this, is it likely to fail with a carryover of root munching pests etc? It had stubble turnips, was thinking of kale/swede/turnip mix for a bit of an attempt at diversity. So yes or no? Thanks

Statistically there will be a significantly lower lamb crop this year, so it is likely that prices will...
Someone said today that the best smell is freshly rolled cereals in the spring.
My entry would be freshly spread rotten muck in the autumn or possibly freshly mown grass.
Any other thoughts?
Heavy ground is ploughing up badly. Looks alot of work getting into a seedbed.
I reckon I could get a better seedbed with cultivator/disc then power harrowing twice.
Min-till maize a good idea.
Usually would have Subsoiler but I image will only smear it

Planted our spring oats 22 April, replacing the acreage of intended Winter Beans for which, sadly, there was never an appropriate window.
But 80mm rain here in the 10 days since, including 32mmm last night, means that this field is now, yet again, very waterlogged - crop not yet emerging and...

Hi All,
