Field Work
By Alison Park, 18 April 2010 –
After ploughing and picking off a few large stones in our Lyth Valley fields, lime was spread to increase the soil pH. The land was last ploughed 25 or 30 years ago and it is encouraging to see and feel the quality of the soil. It has been planted with a grass and clover mix that will ensure the soil continues to be fertile even while it produces good grass for the livestock.
