Bedded everything here with rushes for the last few years. A bag of lime on it every week does a great job on it. We compost it on a concrete slab, drop it in piles in the field with the transport box and level it out with the land leveller. Lads will tell you that you are spreading the rush seed but I haven't seen any increase in rushes where it was spread. It grows good grass though!Just past the 50% mark
Hard to beat a good bale of rushes 🙄😅🤔 sourced on the farm (I can't keep the Bast...d's down)

Fine lump of a calf tooThe highlight of calving 2021 The last one. I know this compact spring job isn't for everyone nor does it suit everyone. But for me I wouldn't change.
Great to get finished.
