Can I get some broad input on these soil tests which I've just had back. I'm looking to get the indices up so where do I start. All grassland currently but all previously arable so wanting to get back to good levels. I'm thinking to get some fibrophos on as not needing the N as more than enough grass for my cattle/sheep presently. How much is enough/rates etc?

*Field 1 is close to the steading and so in my dad's time got plenty dung

Get the pH correct. If you’re not looking for big growth and big cuts of grass and not putting on any nitrogen you may find that everything falls into place with a good pH

USE GROUND LIME not screened.

I dont know who supplies Fibrophos in your area but calling Hatcher Fertilisers will give you all the info you need.
