Rolling April 16th morning.





Rolling rolling rolling , etc... we spread the trefoil yesterday on to the loose seedbed created by the drill , well actually the the soil in between the drills is firm/moist with loose soil on top , so hopefully the seed will be pressed into the ground by the rolls and this will create an ideal situation for germination . Obviously with row spacing at 25cm there is plenty of room for clover between the rows and hopefully not be too shaded out later in the season.
I am also hoping the trefoil will be competitive with some weeds. (discuss)
Your tractor driver of the day is Paul who will later be the sprayer operator.
The wheat is looking well and what has suprised me is the number of worm castings in the seed rows , it seems they have taken the easy route and follwed the seed rows.
