    Silage ground grazed, and available for slurry and fertilizer.
    Want to spread slurry, and 2.5 bags of cut sward to the acre.
    Does it matter which one goes on first? If I spread the fertilizer first, and slurry on top, would some of the fertilizer get wasted?

    Wouldn't say it would make much of a difference. Why do you ask 'would some of it get wasted'? If anything if you put out the slurry after the fertiliser it would help to dissolve it and help to ground to absorb it quicker

    At that level I dont think it would make any difference,
    do you not thing 2.5 bags to the acre is excessive and a waste of money?

    That's 67 units nitrogen, plus slurry. Didn't think it excessive, but maybe it is???

    Place has been grazed bare at this point.
    I will be leaving it 8 weeks before cutting. Going for one big cut!!

    you would want that much at least for pit silage. no point paying 100+ an acre and not having a decent cut just to spare a few bob on the fertwe put a bag and a half too two bags of urea for first cut plus slurry
