      1. Rotational ploughing
        1. 90% of grass weeds germinate from top 2-3cm
          1. Ploughing puts it at a depth it cannot emerge from
            1. Ploughing can return seed closer to surface
              1. Weeds do not persist
                1. Hence could plough every one in 2/3 years to reduce burden
          2. Stale seedbed
            1. 1. Create medium quality seedbed
              1. tined cultivator on light soils
                1. heavy disc harrows on heavy soil
                  1. 2. wait for germination
                    1. 10-20 days
                      1. 3. Spray with Roundup
