    If conditions were right what roughly would be the time line for reseeding ?
    Have a square of ground that got poached last Autumn nit too bad but there is a lot of dead scraggy grass in it so thinking of doing a job on it.
    Would be a reasonably dry piece of ground

    Should be sound in a few weeks. All depends on weather and especially frost. Not fully safe until mid April.

    Clough a few years back think I remember you putting up pictures of a field that you went over with a tine harrow. Did you throw seed over it as well ?

    Spray off as soon as growth starts but you should be ok by end of March.

    More than likely not. It would have been after the first graze to pull out the dead grass. Ill be using it on a field i had redstart in this winter. My contractor gave it a light rub with the disc harrow. I gave it 2 runs with the tine harrow and I broadcast the seed with the vicon. Ill be doing same now again to sow grass seed back into it later this month less the disc harrow.

    You said it ain't to bad would it be better to put out a few bags of 18-6-12 and a roll. I'm wondering is autumn a better time. If you get a hard dry may, you won't have grass till June. Missing out on a lot of grass.

    Maybe a rub or two of a grass harrow and some seed rolled in. Recovery time would be much quicker.

    That's the one concern I have alright. Take it that it wouldn't be recommended to leave it closed and take a cut of bales off it
