Applying Fertiliser

DJ98

Just after gathering up last of the Silage here now, if this ground was to get fertiliser spread on it early next week would you see much of a response this time of year or would it be better to just close that field now and graze again in the spring? Would be spreading 10 10 20 at 2 bags to the acre.

One bag would be enough you would be far better off spread the likes of a pasture sward or 18 6 12 lot of p and k for this time of the year

2 bags/ ac perhaps a little high at this time of year, spreading 15 units N here up to closing date , P and K work well this time of year and will enhance growth over the winter if conditions are favourable

Sorry it was 18 6 12 we were going with not 10 10 20

Around 1 bag to the acre so, should be loads.

Over 20 degrees this week, the ground is warm. So spread a bag to the acre.

We often put out fert in a cold march and got very little response. Fingers crossed for a fairly good October that the animals can stay out.
