[QUOTE="Jerry, post: 348538, member: 178"] I am taking back in hand 60 acres of grass land that has been rented out for a number of years. It is in an arable to grassland reversion scheme under an HLS scheme that has a couple of years to run. As such it is not a new ley and is a species rich sward with only a little clover in it. It can't be grazed over winter and has been used for haylage production in recent years. Lots going to a local big stable. Typically 2 cuts a year though it has stretched to 3 in some years. Quality seems fine given the repeated demand for it. Soil is light mainly red sandstone based but a decent depth. Can burn up if we get it very hot. Soil indices and pH is fine and nothing to worry about I am not up to speed on Fert requirements for grass. I am guessing something generic like 20:10:10 now to kick it of but at what Kg/Ha? Then after first cut something to replace the carried of K I am guessing. Something like Kaynitro Sulphur N:K:S?? Again how much is needed? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
