pete1dart Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Sparsholt college put a trial 5 acre plot on one of the fields up one of our farms a few years back. Nothing touched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Oh right the other half of the farm around 200 acre is barley and oats might get a bit of shooting there! Good area for Canada geese and greylags so u never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Lupins can be good for pigeons from sowing to harvesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I had some good days shooting over a test crop of lupins, sadly the farm didn't follow on with the experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyboy Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 These look really interesting in the field somthing I've never witnessed around here, says u just chop the lot at harvest and the whole thing is edible ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
