Hi All,

This has likely been discussed ad infinitum but here we go again as I can't seem to find a relaxant thread on the subject.
When to apply 20-10-10 to grassland now that T sum 200 is no longer published?
OK conventional wisdom states "March time" but is there anything more scientific out there than that? I also can't seem to find much in the way of area specific local temperature data otherwise I could work out my own T sum number (we're based in Shropshire). If anyone has any pointers or can provide some sage advice then it would be most welcome!
Many thanks to all in advance.

Putting 185 Kilos on Westerwold grass today if I can get my 'new to me ' spinner working . ( nitrogen)
I wouldn't be putting 20/10/10 on grassland before end of March early April
