[QUOTE="susie, post: 658543, member: 1553"] I just got the results of my soil test and I wondered I could get some help with getting the right fertilizer. They recommend 160 lbs Nitrogen, 70 lbs of Phosphate, and 10 pounds of sulfur per acre- i only have about 3 1/2 acres of pasture. I have a couple small cows and a few goats on it. I put the animals on the pasture usually in March, we almost always get a dry spell in August, sometimes i have to take them off the pasture and feed for a couple weeks, in a really dry year. Then in September it greens back up again and I can put the animals back on it until October or so. I rotational graze. Could I time the application of fertilizer to help through that summer slump? I figure I should break the fert amount into 3 applications or so, 2 in the Spring one in the Fall. Does that seem right? I'm just not sure how to take those numbers and get a fertilizer :) I would also be interested in chicken manure or some other product could get me near those numbers too, I have a small manure spreader. Would prefer to keep it as inexpensive as I can. Thanks! Susie [/QUOTE]
