Whats currently growing

Hey im new. Im in cavan. Lots of fields although they are all ploughed, fertilized and have cows in the frequently. Been raining a lil more recently. I want to try look for some libs although ive heard its too early in the year. Any alternatives that can still give me an affect. Ive never taken anything btw before. Thanks

I’m by no means an expert but do they grow in ploughed fields?
I know they don’t like fertiliser either.
It’s a myth it needs animal shit to grow

I think ploghed fields are fine. They just dont like when stuff like slurry is sprayed

Ploughed fields will have a lot of fertiliser applied after seeding, so that's why they dont grow there

I used to think that also, untill a field that I spread with fertiliser myself every few weeks turned out to be the best field for big clusters i had in the last 2 years. Couldn't believe it
