Re: Cutting meadows

Thanks Steve, it’s an orchard I’m afraid with unguarded trees at 10 m spacing. So not suitable for cows.
We have been asking around today and it looks like we will have to use the topping option….

There is definitely a gap in the contractor market locally for small balers

Cutting meadows

We have 1 hectare of herb rich grass in Diptford and are having a problem getting our grass cut and baled. Last year we had it topped and had to hand rake up it, but we would rather not repeat that this year.

Any suggestions please?

Thank you for letting us know, I missed the printed version and didn't know that it is now online.

A great resource!

Re: Spring seeding?

no we haven't tried this Lynn. As our sward isnt grazed I am guessing that we would need to harrow first?
