. Has been too wet to get back into drill cereals for 2 weeks now
It's hard to know at this stage. I see chickweed and thistles among others starting to develop in it. I suppose a lot will depend on the weather.
Hormone weed sprays need reasonably good temps to work properly, something to keep in mine.
I was not aware of that. I wouldn't have sprayed either way if the temperatures plummeted but that's still very useful information. Thanks
They need temps above 8*C
im saving the comments till i find my glasses🤦♂️
I'm afraid that my budget for 3 or 4 acres would not stretch to that. I have access to a grubber for free like the one in the picGrass Harrows
The Palatine GH Range of Grass Harrows have been developed to help improve grass quality and yield. It achieves this by tearing out old dead grass and moss while at the same time...www.palatine.ie
I'd be afraid that the grubber all will do is bring up lumps on youI have this plan to do some overseeding next year - a few acres of peat soil. I don't want to drill it. I want to graze it tight, expose some soil and then broadcast the seed.
I have a chain harrow that will do a somewhat reasonable job of exposing some soil. Is there anything else that can be worked on a small tractor that would expose soil a small bit?
Would a grubber like this work?
That will just rip up sods, I done a small bit with a pin harrow at the beginning of June, after the silage was cut and put slurry on it.I have this plan to do some overseeding next year - a few acres of peat soil.

I can get my hands on a pin harrow too. I wonder will it work better than a chain harrow?
I think it will. You can add more weight with a bit of trial and error too if needed
Lots of peat soil around here and heavy soil with very poor soakage.I have this plan to do some overseeding next year - a few acres of peat soil. I don't want to drill it. I want to graze it tight, expose some soil and then broadcast the seed.

I agree with you. We have reseeded a good bit of ground at home with the same method. What I am looking to do is complicated, so I won't try to explain, but quite simply the problem is access. Whatever is done will be done with the 35.
If it was a small area that your doing it could be done like a bit of ground now been farmed ( dairy farm at moatefarrell where it wasn't tillable due to rock ) local suckler turned dairy man you probaly know.
