Fert Help Needed

[buffalo_soldier]

To be fair we weren't getting any growth until about a week ago. 20 to 100kg growth overnight

But in answer to the OP, go online and read RB209, its not 100% but will give you a rough idea and give you something to help plan applications over a year or two.

Do you burn up in the summer?
That's not something I have to worry about gladly/sadly.

Just me moving to Cornwall will be the dear part.

luckily generally not, we have a mix of silty clays and brashy soils but our August rainfall is the same as January. we get about 1200mm a year here, but we're about as inland as you can get (which isn't much!). The coast gets a lot less rain and can burn up quite nicely.

We mainly graze herbal ley type mixes which generally do better in the dry, generally have half a dozen different legumes in the mix which helps with no N applications.

Here you go @Agrispeed thought this might be interesting.

Might not look it in the photo but there is about 1/3 of the grass there.

Sod's law isn't it.
I had the whole field to go at and I find the only dock in there

What’s cwt in kg

110 lb

 

[Lili]

112lb ( 8 stone) in a cwt

 

[Cheesehead]

You'd think in a measurement called a hundred weight that it would would be broken down into a hundred of another measurement like a 100lb or a 100 stone but I guess a hundred and twelve weight doesn't have the same ring or abbreviation if you use roman numerals CXIIWt just wouldn't cut it.

To make it even more interesting, these were the days before calculaters.
