What should I use for Nitrogen I just started using dilute solution of 9-0-0. Will I need a stronger nitrogen fertilizer in late may to mid/late june. I added alot of 3/4 year old manure last fall. 8-10 inches.

what makes you think you need to add N?

You likely have plenty of N from all the manure. I would be very careful adding any additional N. Watch you plant. If the leaves go light green as they are growing you may need to add some fast acting N like Calcium Nitrate, but I doubt you will need any

That is just what I have been doing the leaves were light green and are now darker green. I had low nitrogen last year I do not want to have that happen again. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track.

cool weather, cool soil, lack of sun can make the plants appear anemic expecially early on

If you are going to push plants now is the time to do it,,so no harm no foul. But as John says,,easy with the apps, Ca Ni is the way to go at this stage.
