• Some follow up photos post the Soilkee seeding. 

      No real rain post seeding 4 weeks ago so it has all been irrigation. 

      Competition is causing the expected challenges with some areas being hard to see any seed coming up at all. But other areas are relatively easy to see. 

      Jury’s still out on the benefit of the Soilkee. Spacing looks too wide to me, plus the competition is tough. 

      Plan for next summer is to cut silage on the irrigation blocks in October then seed straight after with a close space direct drill. Might help on the competition front.
