Two decades ago, researchers started an experiment that would challenge the prevailing scientific understanding of plant communities.

While modern agriculture treats diversity as inefficient, the Jena Experiment proved the opposite: complexity is the key to resilience.

@KevinoHanlon12 I was told they are more palatable when you stop spreading N, less bitter for stock. Sheep here graze them all year.

@Moo4organic @DuncanTWilson @hanslope A friend told me that the old timers would skin the ground with a single furrow and a horse and then return later and fold the skinned sod down into the furrow.

[Graham @Grahamdeharris]

@Moo4organic @DuncanTWilson @hanslope My brother is trying to use it to break leys, he is trying shallow cultivation to break the sod and coming back 10 days later to shallow plough. It won't turn the sod without breaking it first.

@hanslope @DuncanTWilson Thanks John it turned over well. I think clay content is 30%
