[QUOTE="Davy_g, post: 9251480, member: 3544"] I know this wont suit everyone. My old man let FYM sit and rot all summer till late August. Then spread it on what ever fields required it - usually by rotation. I keep it for Potash hungry silage ground. Spread in late August the bottom of the heap is well rotted the top still has fresh straw. Get the odd lump. Cows graze lightly maybe one or twice more before they are housed. Help to tramp it in and it gets all winter to break down. No sign of it come the spring. So you get some benefit with autumn grass growth and all winter to break down naturally to send silage on again in the spring. If it worked for Dad then I aint going to change it. [/QUOTE]
