The start of a major reset for arable and particularly regenerative farming
Interesting to see the soil that’s covered with plant pot bases as part of the #BOFIN # Slimers slug trials. The effect of weathering in the outside bare areas allows the rain to run the clay particles together reducing surface aggregation and water/air movement

My first attempt at an alternate row under sown legume trial. The plan is to remove only the CC and stitch in a cereal crop next spring leaving the legumes intact.
Help from Anglian Water much appreciated
