    i have not spread my nitrogen fert on the silage ground yet?

    i was hoping to do it on sat when off work and given that the weather has been so poor that i would put on about 2000 gallons of slurry on the following saturday.

    Would this be too late as i hope to cut silage roughly 8 June.
    can I mix nitrogen with slurry as read somewhere that you cannot (but maybe that was urea, sorry not sure)

    I'd go the other way around but only if the fields were bare/very low covers. If not and fertility is ok the the slurry won't go stale between now and the 9th of June.

    Ya would agree with freedom, put the slurry out first on bare ground. I think if you mixed CAN type N with slurry you would lose the N element from the fertiliser to the air.

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