Reseeding 2022

Was out 2 days ago stitching ground. Thought it was abit early but customer is always right. Should work OK as it wouldn't have struck yet

What seed were you using?

Agritech No 4A and 4XC. Think it was just old stock from last year. Was just patching up 17 acres

reseeding 18 acres of silage ground here as the grasses in it are burnt out since it was intensively cut since sown in 2005,..putting 8 acres in a red clover/prg/white clover mix and the rest in a 1 cut and graze mix,..sprayed it off 10 days ago when it was mild so hope to sow it in the next fortnight be hoping to see it emerging around the 1st of may

It's a grass mixture with no clover just grass seed. Think I have a bag of multi species in the shed I'll check

yea ill go for the grant,no red clover is more for silage making

Don't want to seem biased on them but very mixed results on them really. Not a fan of drills myself

Here's the agritech multi species mix. Going sowing it tomorrow

It's really 70% grass anyways. You can sow it the same as grass mixes and time frames. I'm sowing it today just to get it out of the way on overwintered ground. Disced the area yesterday and going to run over it now with the guttler when it dries up later on

I dont qualify for the dept grant. Only got it last week. Sowing it as an experiment atm. If it does OK I'll do a few more acres later in the year

Still a novice to multi species myself but I did sow about 40 acres of it for lads last year

Thats the issue I find with dept specs. Sometimes they don't match real life requirements

What time of the day is soil temperature taken?

Oh believe me there were stones. You only have to ask my 8yr old daughter. She could tell you to the minute how long it took

Just disced it and ran the guttler over it. There were cattle on it over the winter so well loosed up. I'd get it tested first anyways as that will let you know what you need doing or have to add after it's sown.

if its a long term job 4kg RC 8kg PR 2kg WC

I've a few acres of very sandy ground that I'm reseeding. Would it be ok to put some of last year's horse manure on it and then run the cultivator on it. This ground was ploughed last year, in spuds.

Plan is to just cultivate, then horrow it.

Should leave a good seed bed but it's very dry ground. Burns up on a dry summer.

Thinking of putting a multi species mix in it. It's only rented ground but I have it for the next 5 years. Any recommendations on what to sow. It would just be grazing, mainly sheep.

Don't think I'm eligible for any grants as I'm only getting a herd number, hopefully tomorrow 🤞.

Hopefully the mss chokes them out

Can be done either way. Whichever suits the man in question.

Can be sometimes. The stitching will work and it's alot less hassle when done right.

The MSS is just starting to show. Something is growing whatever it is. I'd say the grass won't be far behind it
