Crimper Roller and Ploughing experiment with Rye and Vetch

We ploughed two weeks ago, preparing for a winter bird mixture (containing fifty species) and a herbal ley, but we've not sown anything yet. Waiting for the rain to come!
FarmED is the new Centre for Farming and Food Education based at Honeydale Farm in the Cotswolds.
Our mission is to accelerate the transition towards regenerative farming and sustainable food systems by providing space and opportunity for inspirational education, innovative research, practitioner-led knowledge exchange events and personal development.
The farm is a diverse mix of low input arable and temporary grass, and organic permanent pasture. Our trial plots include blocks of sainfoin, herbal ley, barley, heritage wheat, wild bird seed and various cover crops. The grassland is managed by mob grazed sheep.
At the heart of FarmED are two impressive eco-buildings - one providing space for conferences, lectures, workshops and special events; and the other a farm to fork kitchen and food space, and a regenerative business incubator.
Our audience includes local communities, schools, universities, researchers, farmers, new entrants, foodies, businesses, environmental groups and policy makers.

I read of this technique in humas and the farmer by Friend Sykes,published in the 1950s,he called it Sheet composting. I am currently trialling it with winter wheat..My father sead, deep ploughing is a mistake, He described it as burying your fertility, all the action is in the top 6 inches. The more I study soil science, the more this makes sense. And no roundup.
