    if it's only after been reseeded P and K are more important to establish a good root system

    other wise can or consider stitching in some clover next may

    John, depends what you want to do with it? If it's sowing grasseed use can, urea is slow release, but not suitable this time of yr and not suitable for germinating seeds. Long term is it grazing/silage/something else?

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

    get a soil test , cheaper than wasting fertilizer at to day's prices

    N will work better if your lime p and k's are balanced

    apply plenty of FYM .... tis not only nitrogen you need to bring up P, K sort out the Ph etc.... anyway last i checked it is not maintained for long periods (ie. unlike p and k) then just bag away after that as needed

    stitching in clover saves a lot of money in the long run
