[QUOTE="hurleyjd, post: 1737163, member: 4674"] My Dad started growing watermelons commercial in the early fifties and up through the seventies. He always used 5-10-5. Some under the furrow and another application as a side dress when the melons started running. He left more melons in the field in the fall than most growers make now. There were enough wild bees to keep the melons pollinated. Bees are not as common in the area as they were back then. A lot of the soil in my area has enough phosphorus now to last a long time. Applying chicken litter creates a lot of phosphorus over the years with heavy applications of the litter. [/QUOTE]
