GLAS thread

Muckit

There may be some interest in setting this up to help with any GLAS related items.

My questions (although not exclusively glas related) are as follows:

I have LIPP and l am trying to work out in real terms what chemical N l am allowed to put out.

So far l've converted the 40kg/ha limit to kg/acre which works put @ 16.19kg/acre.

Now take say a 50kg bag of CAN. That's 27%N so am l right in saying this works out @ 13.5kg? So really a bag of CAN is all that is allowed/annum?

Or if spreading typical compound like 18-6-12 that 1.5bags/acre can be comfortably spread?

Does anyone know when the next tranche of GLAS is due to open? I heard somewhere that it could be later in the year but is there an exact date announced?

I presume it'll be September October and in early November/start of December

if you don't have time to make it yourself buy the material and pay someone to make them

once they one cut to size you'd fly through them

how they justify 8-12 euro per box on DD is beyond me

i used screws to fix onto the tree

anything at all will do to mark the tree - nail a bit of a lat, cut up a fertilizer bag and tie on somewhere

doesn't specify so anything that will identify it as a tree with a box if you stand back and look at a group of them together

If it's only suggested then I wouldn't bother. The more time he's walking around with his head stuck up every tree means less time looking for other problems. weren't they marked on a map in the application anyway?

from the posts on here from the guys that have gotten inspections, the inspectors seem to be taking the suggestions as requirements.

Stand under tree with phone and get get gps coordinates and if asked where boxes are hand them gps coords should keep them amused for a while.

Make sure that the bat boxes you make/buy have the slits on them for the bats to crawl up. I don't know the requirement for bird boxes. There is a diagram on how to make the bat boxes on the Glas book.

I have a fencing post along the hedge in front of each tree - pretty simular to the other 30 odd fencing posts along the hedge

We put 4 boxes on one tree and 5 on the other. The requirements were a minimum of 3 boxes per tree facing different directions. I chose two trees with no ivy and good spacing between the branches so that we didn't have to cut any branches on the trees.

i thought it was a max of 3 per post/tree??

Put the boxes on oak trees then

These Traditional Hay Meadows are going to be traditional dung heaps now with the weather we are getting, not really worth baling up as Silage either as the quality is rubbish at this stage

Mine are good quality enough hoping to get them into baled silage next week, I didnt put out the fertilizer until the 20 of may so it wouldn't be growing as long and wouldn't all shoot and collapse before july. Ours has lots of red and white clover in it should make good enough for the cows

That sounds good Limo. It needs a different regime than we have got used to.

Kale starting to come on in the WBC parcel. Have a lot of grass coming through as well.
This pic is where I made a balls of the sowing and let out the entire bag in a few yards.

This is where I got it right (I think) and mixed the kale with a bag of nitrogen.

I don't know much about kale other than seeing it been grazed but I assume that it will smother out the grass as it gets stronger.

That's what I'm assuming too. Was going to put round up on it as well but then I thought what is the point of killing grass in a non commercial crop.
