    If you mean make of fertilizer, like the lads said Gouldings or IFI no diff. I could be mad but i got Target two years and definitely didnt get as good a response from it. This isnt just cause it was a bad year, i am basing it on the response from bag fertilizer v slurry.

    EUR380 for urea at the minute in midlands. much better value than CAN

    if you mean, what NPK ratio is the best, there is no general answer to that. Soil tests are a great job (only 12.50 a sample with FBA labs) and will tell you exactly how much P, K and lime you need. Means you arent spreading any fertilizer that will not be of benefit. with the price of it now, i think soil sampling is a must.
