[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 612315, member: 7795"] In my part of the coutry ryegrass pastures will benifit from a fall application of complete fertilizer (got to get it growing) with a topdress of nitrogen in the spring. How much it benifits is determined by rainfall (no rain and it dies) and how long it stays hot (doesn't grow much or either dies if it stays to hot). If your intention is to have a ryegrass pasture for grazing and in December and January you can see every place a cow did her duty because it is 10 inches tall, dark green and thriving while the rest of the pasture is 4 inches tall and just sitting their. You would have benefited if your would have fertilized it in the fall. Waiting till spring wastes a lot of grazing time. But if you don't want it for grazing before March or April, waiting till later is not a problem. What is highly evident at this time, fertilizer doesn't work if you don't put it out, it won't work if you do put it out and it doesn't rain. If you do have the "golden touch", put it out at the right time, get the rains on que, it is no longer inexpensive to do so. [/QUOTE]
