It prob should be discussed over there, but it seems to have cropped up from a number of posters on this thread, or haven't you noticed?You make some valid points but will you apply bagged nitrogen over the autumn and winter under the same principle?
By the way, shouldn't this be discussed on the autumn muck thread?
I've no idea what your first question is trying to get at? The point I was making was that grass grows in the autumn and winter in spite of the existence of a thing called a calendar. What tf is "crop need"? The rules make no sense when you're allowed to apply in Feb say but not in Sept. Don't know about you but ground and growing conditions are waaaaaay better for application of manures etc in a balmy Sept that a p1ss wet cold Feb/March/April. Or are you campaigning for it all to be banned leaving a fortnight in late July?
