The recent comment from our correspondant in New Zealand has set me worrying. Rob is the expert on all things seeds and wrote that my seed rate for clover looks to be half what it should be. He should know - he grew the seed.
I bet that I've done my usual acres/hectares blunder and that I should actually have put on 2.471 times more. Still its all emerged and it looks pretty thick (and so do I it would appear).
Rob is a good mate of mine who left Lincolnshire a few years ago to start farming in Methven, New Zealand. He is a manager for South Pacific Seeds and has recently bought a farm of his own too. He has also built a house and got married but still seems to have plenty of time left for skiing. This says a lot about Rob's ability but also a bit about how much simpler it is to get things done down under. I love it out there. I might have to go and collect my clover seed in person next year, would the saving pay for the flight?
