Fertiliser/Lime Query

Sugarbowl · 2016-05-03 11:17:06

Does anyone know the best method for spreading fertiliser and lime? I've put out (non urea based) fertiliser on silage ground and was wondering how long should I wait to put out lime on the same ground?

I think when this was discussed before a week was the general consensus.

Thanks Brian. I looked for a old thread but couldn't find one. Just to clarify, the lime a week before the fertiliser is it?

I would expect lime first to have ground ready for fertiliser.
