Went for a wander this afternoon with camera.The oats are comng through along with every thing else , but we have a covering , the soil is lovely and friable, the pass with drill in the autumn acted like a shallow cultivation and mixed some of the straw in which the worms are loving.
The wheat seed has arrived so we are ready to drill when we want but i dont think we will go much before early March .
Our aim is to grow it along similar lines to that we did last year to reduce chemical inputs and use more nutrition , my only thought is on the Nitrogen front we may have to compromise on this as we cannot afford to miss protein levels.
