My questions (although not exclusively glas related) are as follows: I have LIPP and l am trying to work out in real terms what chemical N l am allowed to put out. So far l've converted the 40kg/ha limit to kg/acre which works put @ 16.19kg/acre. Now take say a 50kg bag of CAN. That's 27%N so am l right in saying this works out @ 13.5kg? So really a bag of CAN is all that is allowed/annum? Or if spreading typical compound like 18-6-12 that 1.5bags/acre can be comfortably spread?

The Cuban wrote: » Yes thats exactly what has happened, I know of farmers who have ground for Glas and then the rest of the farm is farmed whatever way they like. Back to my original question, how can they tell what amount of fertilizer is spread. Unless you willingly give them the dockets for the fertilizer they will not know.

Muckit wrote: » I paid €400 for my plan. Tbh l find it hard to see where the work is. I had gone through all the measures and picked the ones that would suit me. I picked the positions for the habitats (birds bats bees etc) and marked on maps. We all got the criteria and specification booklets. It wasn't that difficult. I'm fairly handy, as many farmers now are, on the computer. I'm sure l could have submitted maps &measures to glas. Did my €400 go on a few mouse clicks?? Perhaps l'm being naive re level of work involved in submitting plans?
