[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1016016, member: 5644"] My husband has been spraying our extra milk on one pasture. We've been dragging a flexible harrow monthly to scatter the mature. We can see a difference in the areas that he has sprayed. It is not a fertilizer but is a biostimulate like wbvs28 mentioned. We have a friend who has a sustainable truck farm (sells at the Farmer's Markets in Houston). He sprays molasses and uses compost and manure as fertilizer. It really makes a difference in how the manure breaks down and how the plants can utilize it. The milk is diluted so that it is absorbed into the soil. There isn't anything to curdle and it does not attract flies. Milk sold at the grocery stores is not watered down. After it has been delivered to the processor and tested, it undergoes pasteurization, homogenization, separation and further processing. For "whole milk," the cream is added until the fat content reaches 3.25%, "low fat milk," the fat content is 1% , "skim milk" (nonfat milk) the fat content is 1/2 %. That is why it looks watered down. It doesn't have hardly any cream in it. [/QUOTE]
