Not for the first one or two grazings as I’m trying to get the grass to tiller to fill in the gaps after that it will be grazed less tight

This is incredible. Quick question. Did you plant forage crop this year

@@martinhealy3741 sorry do you mean wholecrop Martin

All established very well going at it again shortly doing 25 acres the same way

Hi yes just overseeded into existing sward 2kg chicory 2kg plantain and 1kg of white clover

What kind of drill/Harrow is that, do you find it good?

@@counietom hi it’s just a 3 meter Kuhn disc with a app broadcast seeder on top simple but working well for us so far

Better growth than grass the last while with the cold weather only warmed up the last week or so. it’s growing more than the grass all year have a lot of it gone in the last two weeks and more to go in over the next while the chicory Will last around 3 years the plantain around five so easy to oversow them from what you save from fertiliser over that time

@@kevin1984984 fascinating stuff. Is the plan to use no fertiliser on this ground at all? What about if a paddock goes strong, could you bale it ok?

@@Panchdeburca yes that’s the grand plan to cut out baught in inputs and keep a cover on the ground to build soil organic matter true regenerative farming yes it can be cut and bales but would have to be dry weather and cut in the morning when the augers are in the stem and roots not in the leaf to keep reserves for rejuvenation of the plant again

@@kevin1984984 looks like this is going to be the way forward for Irish farming. Is the growth curve much flatter with the multi species, or still a big peak in April may and then falling away during the summer? Also can I ask which drill you use to oversow?? Sorry for all the questions

@@Panchdeburca your grand ask away it grows at the same rate as grass till the back end when grass slows down it stays growing longer into the winter I first grazed it 15 January after been saved off mid to end Oct we have a Kuhn disc with a broadcaster on top simple but effective
