Fields

[Taffieboy1]

Hello all,

Is it best with fields to:-
Harrow - roll - harrow
Or
Roll - harrow - roll

For best results & easiest.

Mine are harrowed then rolled. Not harrowed again.

I harrow (to spread poos pull out moss/ dead grass and take tops off massive ruts ) then roll then rest (which is the best thing IMHO you can do for fields)

We have always harrowed and then rolled, works fantastically and our land looks fab even after 18 years of horses being grazed on the land, although we also cross graze with our sheep during the summer.

I was advised by a company called Agrigem to chain harrow, roll then fertilise with 1-2 bags of 20-10-10 per acre and my paddocks have never looked so good! And the supplied the fertiliser at exceptionally good prices!

You do have to watch some horses/ponies when you have fertilised as it can contribute to a laminitis attack.
