Peds is talking about No Till farming, which, as they say, is a thing.

Which is all fine and dandy unless you've repeatedly has a 700 series Avant and 1.5t logs compacting the soil over a three year period.

Fine, there seemed to be some confusion about what he was on about.

Just thought I’d throw it out there for anyone who didn’t know.

I think you're confused about what you perceive the confusions seems to be.

Not sure why anyone would waste their time digging these days. 

 

Anyway, it's possible you took my comments about salad out of context. Not sure where you got any kind of sexual meaning from.

Congratulations. If you started a thread on here documenting it from day one, I’d be very interested to follow along.

I'll keep you posted for sure, I've got a thread on it somewhere. Slow going so far, but we'll get there.

Right……

Tossing someone’s salad is a sexual practice that I could not even describe here without getting a ban, as you’re well aware.

The fact you embellished your fantasy with mental images of me tossing someone’s salad in a toilet cements the fact you’re fully aware of the overt homosexual connotations you wished to convey.

If you’re gonna post homophobic nonsense like that up at least be a man and take ownership of it instead of pathetically attempting to weasel your way out if it when called out on it.

Cripes, I had no idea. Good thing you mentioned that, you've probably saved me from all sorts of awkward situations in the future. Cheers Trig.

Pathetic.

Glad mayonnaise was not brought into the equation. Which you can make from eggs... 

 

Anyway this has been all very educational. I choose to still dig

Yep . I see all the above . So to get away from peeps sniping and dissing .....the general trend in modern day farming is to direct drill into last years ground ( with a different crop ) . and not to plough   . All this is based on a gamble at the price per ton somewhere between now and harvest .  With a " scratchit drill " you can get a crop in the ground with no ploughing at all and not set free any carbon . . Say best malting barley . If its going to end up at £120/ton ( un likely ) . you think it will reach £130/ton then the fuel you save by not ploughing is worth it . You will get a slightly reduced yeald this way but the money you save on deisel . Once it goes over £ 150 , and probably up to £ 200/ ton Then it is worth ploughing and drilling and rolling etc coz you will end up better off . does that make sense ?
