Do you need an extension to the slurry spreading date?

    There something more natural about slurry left on top of ground. Will injected slurry react in the way that nature has designed for its integration within and utilisation by the soil?

    Was it Dawg or Waffletractor saying about the injected slurry destroying the soil structure right at the top?

    I'd prefer it on top of the ground, tbh, I've seen fields grazed after a dribble bar putting out watery slurry and all you could see were inch high strips of ungrazed grass right where the slurry went and the rest bare to the ground. Maybe problems at high covers alright, my contractor wouldn't spread on a paddock with a cover over 2000 for me yesterday?

    T shoe or injecting in only job ,dribble bar is a balls of a job imo,leaves lines of slurry in top of ground

    How is the trailing shoe any different? Doesn't slice the ground unless the going is fairly soft. In fact if you drop the shoe on hard ground, you'll end up with a much messier job than the dribble bar

    Well, did you ring them? If you got the go ahead you'd want them to put it in writing.

    I believe the co. councils are waiting for the Dept of Ag to give the derogation. Not the other way round.

    There’s tankers out with slurry around here. The neighbor was at it there few days ago before the rain - it wasn’t soiled water at all!

    All depends on who your neighbours are! One prick of a neighbour here. One foot out of line by me and guaranteed being reported to the council.
