    hi. havent had soil tests done yet but our land has been grazed tight and poached with no slurry/ fert put on in 20 yrs so i assume its low in everything. which is the best bag stuff to put on for grass growth. will get tests etc done but prob need to sow now so whats a good ''general'' fertiliser. also what weather conditions would be ideal. ground is dry and quite hard at the mo
    thanx

    i would say a go of 18.6.12 for the first round and then pasture sward after that. alternativly a bag of 0.7.30 and then a bag of urea/can.

    Around me, 18-6-12 seems to be the defalt setting of many a man!

    Hi OP,

    if you spread P and K now before you take a soil sample you will get an artificially high result for them. If you are in a hurry just spread CAN now and take a soil sample as soon as you can, then spread P and K, maybe 0.7.30 when you get results.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    thanx for the quick response . getting time is an issue so prob go for pasture sward just so 1 run will do then when soil results are in tailor the fert blend more to it

    Is this fertiliser you are recommending ie pasture sward/ 18-6-12 for silage meadow or for early grazing. I have good grass where no cattle but since they have been out has been very little regrowth and am wondering what fert is best for early grass ?
