[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 630116, member: 8829"] I agree Jo that it can't be used as the sole fertilizer for your grass or crops The places I have seen it is useful is on hay crops that get fertilized either with granular or turkey litter and then after the first cutting of hay I use the liguid to help boost production and get added growth for a 2nd crop using it in a top dressing aplication Talked to my renter and his explanation is that if used in a top dress application as I have done you can take the foliar mix and get better growth results with a smaller amount of it than a larger amount of granular because the plant gets the benefit thru the leaf and the roots doesn't have to pull the fert from the ground and therefore the plant processes the fert faster and more efficiently BUT it does not help the plant after it has been harvested as it also leaves NO residual for the plant to promote new growth that has to come from the soil [/QUOTE]
