Yeah first year, it's only any good in the second year onwards. It's very easy to establish, most of my previous plots are 4 years old now and were drilled by broadcasting it like mustard. Gets abit too thick doing it that way though but I've only used it in 6m rows so doesn't matter as much. A

This coming season it will be 2nd year kale with an understorey of the grasses and sweet clover which will go to seed. Then the next year will be grasses and sweet clover,eventually it will just become reed canary grass so will need to spray patches off so it's not too thick but other than that and topping occasionally it should last for years. Next lot I put in I'm going to include some chicory in the mix also as when that bolts it's a huge boost for wildlife and game. Cheers

Yeah its shootable because of the kale in it. That's effectively the only cover for the first year. Here's a pic of the cover a month ago after drilling last may. Cheers

We use royal MKV from brights. It's awesome. Kale, canary grass, sweet clover, red clover and cocksfoot. Looks like it's going to be a very good mix. Only drilled it last year but has established like a dream. A

Kale is good but is best in its second year. We use a mix from brights called striker which has a mustard to protect the kale early on. Hasn't failed us yet and we are wet clay. We use Flightpath Maize, dwarf sorghum, a partridge mix of linseed,tritical and gold of pleasure and a Buckwheat, mustard, millet mix for an early seeded cover. If your doing the blocks yourself id go for kale but remember to spray it 2/3 times for flea beetle. Or a block of pure sorghum but make sure it's drilled in wide rows like maize otherwise it's too thick for anything to get into. Cheers

Edited post. All the same price. All dogs. Cheers

Mates bought a couple- total waste of money- stick with snares and be done with it!

Nice one, let's hope the trees are big enough for them to roost in as they are seriously fussy when they get past the poult stage in choosing roosting trees! A

Don't worry they will be fertile! I had a nice trio and didn't see them once mate yet every egg was fertile! A

Stick some photos up. Could be 101 things wrong with the place. Water, pen position, grit, predators, etc. Given your releasing 1500 blacknecks which hold like glue even on the worst ground I'd be more inclined to the fact of lack of low roosting and predator numbers. I've tagged birds a good few times on my place- the results are amazingly interesting! A

I've planted some from cuttings in the past but have found plenty of other better alternatives to plant instead for what im looking for. I think if I were on a tight budget id use it more, for a small shoot I can see their use due to ease of propergation. I've a few pollards for windbreaks by some ponds which work well. I'd only ever plant it now for v.wet areas- in conjunction with alder which benefit pheasants more due to their roosting ability via straight branches unlike the majority of willow. Cheers A
