Hi Max,

Thank you very much for your detailed response and all the great advice. I hope my queries/comments below keep the conversation general enough that it’s still useful for others in a similar situation.

– How quickly would the weeds respond to the adjustment in soil PH? I assume planting cover crops or pasture into any weed ridden fields would still need to address the weeds in the first couple of seasons. Appreciating that tilling is not a long term strategy due to damage to soil structure/microbes etc. would light tillage to knock down weeds immediately followed by sowing be so detrimental just to start? Or would the preference still be to sow before the weeds germinate and suppress weeds just by action of the cover crops?

– Without disc equipment is broadcasting and light rolling a feasible alternative to using disc equipment without damaging the soil?

– I do not unfortunately have access to livestock (except for 3 goats). I understand the great benefit of livestock, but is regenerative agriculture possible without? Any other tips/tricks/methods to improve soil biology (already considering innoculants on seed or direct injected). And for regenerating gravel/bare ground?

Thank you again.
