[QUOTE="Berryhillbilly, post: 9268214, member: 124828"] Hi all, this year I've decided no more fert.....for now. Got fed up with fert and spray market profiteering and making sure even if we got a huge lift in price for any produce we were only allowed to make the same money as they'd take it all back the next season. Didn't help not having the space or cash flow to buy it in out of season admittedly. Anyhow, we're all grass now and I've not put any fert on to date this season. However, the young grass is like a jungle for the poor lambs in one field, this still being fed from muck from last year it would seem but 3,4 and 5 year leys are growing well, even really old permanent pasture I've been worrying would need fert is romping away. I can't imagine ground temperature is very high yet and I can't remember having much more if any more grass when we used to put fert on. Will this bubble burst or will it do even better when actual spring arrives? Just wondered what other people's thoughts or practices were and how you get on. Also my heart goes out to anyone else still battling on with lambing/calving and the ones who have come out the other side, it's been tough and we're still battling more problems than just the weather.
