    Have it here too but just have to manage it accordingly.

    Get great cuts of silage off it every year with minimal fertiliser and cattle really thrive on it.

    Worth managing it correctly but wouldn't include clover in a wetlands mix.

    Why wouldn't you include clover in a wetland mix ?

    Sprayed off six acres last friday evening/saturday morning, I used Gallup 360 at a rate of 2.5/ltrs to the hectare and the water application was 250ltrs to the hectare. It seems to be dieing off well. A couple of people I mentioned it to said they would have used more spray, I am just wondering what is the general opinion?

    6 litres/ha is reccomened to get a good kill.
    I personally go with 7l/ha

    I always took it to be the same, I am pretty sure the leaflet said 2.5-3ltr per hect and I was always told don't be shy with the water as its the cheapest part and the more water the better the spray. I would be no expert on spraying that why I was interested to get other peoples opinions. Sprayed off grass at this rate before and it appeared to be die off very well.

    Any of yous on dry land, when are you going to reseed? If the weather breaks I'd be hoping to get in ASAP, my dad would much rather wait till late September.

    Have given up on idea this year. Ground too hard for a while yet. Dont think weather is due for a big break. Late autumn rarely gives an opportunity to spray and graze before wet conditions.

    Because clover is not a fan of wetland and also it does not like being poached etc which is inevitable to a degree with wetter land.

    We did last years reseed just before the ploughing championship last year, felt it was too late as nothing to spray or graze before the winter, then in spring by the time that you could spray it was gone too strong, that's why we went with it this week, a lot of rain forecast for tonight. We will just have to see how it works out and at least we will know for future reseeds when suits our ground best.

    I sprayed mid August and sowed 1st week September worked out very well but I reckon I got lucky with the warm autumn last year

    Although it makes the process longer, I like to spray with d50 a few days after roundup if the weeds are bad.. gets a much better kill imo...

    Roundup only tends to leave dirt behind..
