[QUOTE="regolith, post: 644144, member: 9267"] I can't find the analysis that should be in my historical stuff, but I think when we used it it went on at about 2.4 T/ha and that provided 80 kg N - a pretty high dose of nitrogen in one shot. So yes, the % tests are low, but the sheer quantities you stick on give a massive boost in growth. I think there are potash issues, that it shouldn't be used too close to calving (milk fever risk). but we never had any problems using it about three - four months before calving as an annual dressing. One thing it will do that chemical fertilisers won't is boost the organic matter (and trace elements) of your soil. That farm had an almost black, scummy surface, lots of worm activity. Probably better moisture retention due to the extra humus. [/QUOTE]
