Hey,
few days ago, I asked about when to fertilize pastures..... They get constant horse poo that is dragged/scattered several times a season. Local guy said just nitrogen in spring and a lime/nitrogen for the areas with moss...... Another guy said use a complete fertilizer in fall......
Any of you folks do hay and pastures in fall????? Weather (and time) fits better for me but don't wanna waste bucks.... The soil sample and fertilize accordingly isn't cost effective for me (sample testing is real expensive and I have 10 or so small (1/2-1 acre) places..... Would just a universal fertilizer in fall serve the purpose, or is it money better spent just using nitrogen in spring? Also, have a couple hard used places that I won't use again til May (+/- a week or so), it don't really freeze til January, think I can broadcast and harrow some seed now and have it do any good?
Thanks, Dave
