which fertiliser

cj maxx

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

pasture sward would be best blend to use until soil results are in

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.

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 ?
