Pull out the weeds, fork the soil over, rake to a fine tilth for lucerne.
Lucerne should probably be kept ‘til spring – oats, barley, rye, mustard are better this time of tear.
I checked the price of lucerne and the Hunter Valley seeds are about $25/kg from the local fodder store here in Gawler.

6- 8 weeks is right.
