@makesoilgreat Only move the minimum soil required. You can’t beat a spade to tell you how much soil you do or don’t need to move. There’s nothing natural about a man-made seedbed, although some soils (silts) are not self structuring & require a little help either with roots or bit of metal.

@RevRichardColes Not unplayable- just think about how you’d play the bass clef notes on the top line with your left hand but use right hand instead. You’ll need to move your bum a bit left along your piano stool!

@TheFarmingForum Higher seed rates. Check latest sowing date per variety. Don’t push it if in south. Will be classed as spring wheat from 1st Feb and this will affect crop protection product use, particularly herbicides.

@TrooperSnooks @JoeWStanley @AgrovistaUK Not personally but colleagues (fruit team etc ) will have.

@TrooperSnooks @JoeWStanley They don’t have to be plastic - use cotton and pine rosin ones instead. Check out the Whiptec Bio and Tree Hugger range from @AgrovistaUK Biodegradable. Plastic free. Made from recycled material. Available in a range of sizes
