This is MTS GS4 (Herb and legume rich pasture) in its 5th and final year. It will have to come out this autumn and go into wheat, otherwise for BPS, it would become PP01 instead of TG01.
I’ll get a 2nd cut in September, by which time it will probably be mostly a clover cut.
It gets no ferts whatsoever and both cuts make an ideal Haylage to feed my deer enterprise in the winter.

Interesting, looks a good sward, but what do you do about replacing P&K After 5yrs and 2 cuts per yr

This farm has a naturally reasonably reserve of K and having Iron to excess, which combined with the Calcium, locks up the P. We release the locked up P by using Sulphur, which makes, makes the P soluble again.
I shan’t ever need to put P&K fertiliser on this farm.

But if that wasn’t so, we can put P&K on any land in Stewardship. But, not necessarily Nitrogen, such as on GS4’s.

On top of which, I have plenty of muck to use.
