[QUOTE="KMacGinley, post: 521839, member: 3175"] I do not have any idea whether Monty's works or not, but I do know that there are already thousands of lbs of NPK in soils to be used. The problem with conventional thinking on fertilizer is that it is a racket, conceived by agribusiness and sworn to by their bought and paid for land grant college professor buddies. Here are some points I would make... 1. When you put on acidulated fertilizers, you are burning the soil organisms that are willing to work for you to free up natural elements present. All the plants have to work with are the ones you put there. This is a lose/lose situation. 2. Some fertilizer solutions work with the idea of feeding the organisms so they can do their work to free the macronutrients already there. Therefore they read rather low on the NPK scale, but work in a big way. 3. There is no reason why all N needed cannot be supplied by legumes,,,, if: 4. You use management intensive grazing and only offer the animals what they can eat in a day and move them on. This may mean only a 1/4 acre of pasture and then move the fence. This gives a rest period to the forage and promotes legume longevity. 5. You apply composted manure only at the right time, no winter applications, only after an area has been grazed. 6. You have a mobile watering system, so manure stays in the grazing area. 7. You quit worming with Ivomec, which does a number on your soil insects that normally recycle the manure. To sum up, if you want to spend a lot of money on fertilizer, let the cows into a big pasture, dump on 150 lbs of N, all at once and burn the earthworms and other bugs, watch the cows graze the best plants over and over again until they are dead, Nuke the dung beetles with ivomec, spread manure in the winter so its nutrients can volatize into the air or runoff into a creek or go down into the groundwater. If you do all these things, you will make your local fert dealer very happy. :D [/QUOTE]
