Frequently Asked Questions
What is 20-10-10 Fertiliser used for?
This is a high-nitrogen fertiliser designed to promote rapid, lush green growth in paddocks and pastures. It is ideal for established grass areas that are grazed or used for hay and silage.
What does the 20-10-10 NPK ratio mean?
It contains 20% nitrogen for leafy growth, 10% phosphate for root strength, and 10% potassium for general plant health and disease resistance. This balanced but nitrogen-rich formula is perfect for intensive grass production.
When should I apply this fertiliser?
The best time to apply is during the growing season, typically from March to September. For the best results, apply when the soil is moist or when rain is forecast.
How long must livestock stay off the grass after application?
Horses and livestock should be kept off the treated area for at least 10 to 14 days, or until the granules have fully dissolved. Ensure any toxic weeds like ragwort have completely died off before returning animals to the pasture.
What is the recommended application rate?
The standard rate is usually 2.5kg to 5kg per 100m², or roughly 10 to 15 bags per hectare. Always adjust based on your specific soil analysis or grass requirements.
Does this product help with hay production?
Yes, the high nitrogen content significantly increases grass yield, making it an excellent choice for hay or silage crops. Apply it in early spring to give the grass the best possible start for the season.
Can I apply this fertiliser by hand?
While possible for very small areas, it is best applied using a tractor-mounted or tow-behind spreader for even coverage. Uniform application prevents uneven growth patches and scorching from over-concentration.
Is it suitable for garden lawns?
While it will grow grass very well, it is much stronger than standard lawn feed and can lead to excessive mowing requirements. It is generally better suited for larger paddock areas rather than ornamental gardens.
Will it work on poor-quality soil?
Yes, it is designed to provide a significant nutrient boost to tired or over-grazed paddocks. However, for long-term soil health, it is often recommended to use this alongside a soil testing kit.
How should the 20kg bags be stored?
Bags should be stored in a cool, dry, and secure location away from livestock and moisture. Keep the bags off the ground (on a pallet if possible) to prevent the granules from dampening and clumping.
