cheap cut sward

leoch

some of the co ops are selling a cheaper cut sward i think its 27.4.4 and its around €70 a ton less did anyone go for it and will it be as good as ordinary cutsward

Tipp Man

Depends on the needs of your soil - regular Cut sward is 24.5-2.5-10 so if you need K then it won't be much good to you - if you don't then happy days i'd say

Your right,
27-6-6 in the UK or the North is 27-2.5-5
27-4-4 equates to 27-1.7-3.3

your comparing apples with oranges, Amount of P and K in the bag is harly worth writing on the bag and I bet is a Urea based N

Missed that bit on the price, difference should be more like €35 so €70 would be a give away that its urea based.

Look at the bag weight. Unlikely to be 500kg in the bag as urea is bulkier and can't get the same weight in the bag.

Granular urea, usually 375kg in the bulk bag (Grassland) Make sure your not paying for 500kg! Will look like 500kg in the spreader.
