Hi,Grazing it isn't an option for the summer.So I am going to have to cut it in Augast and put my sheep back on it for the winter.It seems a shame to cut it and let it go to waist.
Liming it,I all ready have some crushed chalk,will that be ok and will it be ok to spread it now.
Fertilizer:what rate of fertilizer should I spread on it.

Hi Graham, I would second Brewster and Castle Farm. Buttercups and thistles shouldn't be a problem. Get it baled then you know you have it for the winter and the aftermath grass for grazing. Just my tuppence.
