    Tom & Andy… take that strip and MOB graze it. If you can only graze it then pack it full of cattle straight out of the barn. Give them blocks of land, move them every few hours and your strip is fertilized! Do this once a season, let em trample grass in, crap all over it and the following months you’ll see amazing growth. All within the rules 🤫😉

    Trouble with up and coming youngsters on a farm is, you spend lots time with them, educating them, showing them right, wrong ways, then after 2-3 years they move forward to a better position. But..thats what i did and 10,000s other people who went on to senior positions. I loved teaching students when i was at reaseheath college on the dairy unit and when ever ive had chance since. They are the future for a decent farming future.

  • @helensmallholding
    @helensmallholding 4 місяці тому

    Years ago I saw a video by Greg Judy, who does the mob grazing in America. It was a far where they were improving their soil by putting out big round bales in the summer after baling, and then mob grazing through the field in the winter but using the bales rather than grass. Would you be allowed to do that on the strip of land next to the wood that you’re not allowed to fertilise, if the bales are coming from your own land? Use some of your youngstock? Their soil testing showed a fantastic increase in the soil quality (urine, trampled hay, manure) - your land might be too wet - but perhaps it isn’t next to the wood as the trees dry the land out more?
