    What should i go with for a second cut?
    I've been advised by my conbtractor to go with three bags of cut sward to the acre and cut eight weeks later...
    PH is 6.2, P is index 3 and K is index 3...

    He's spot on.unless it gets 3000 gals of slurry to acre then 3 bags can.

    he wouldnt be too far out, others will say just go with straight N but any crops up to now that got a little chemical P and K are a long way out in front. Presume it was the cold spring/early summer locking up nutrients in the ground

    How many bags can you spread in the year?

    Say 3.5 bags 27-2.5-5 for 1st cut,

    and 3 bags of the same for second cut,

    What can you still spread after second cut for after grass then?
