[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1816832, member: 43196"] If I can quote Jim Garrish, I think the answer might be 'it depends' and I mean to a large extent on the soil's ability capture and hold the nutrients, and then beneficially release the nutrients. Nutrients applied to a sandy soil in excess will quickly leach out and become a surface water runoff contaminant. The same can be said about litter applied to the surface of a soil in excess. If, however, the soil is heavier or has more organic matter (think sponge) and the added nutrients are incorporated into the soil, more nutrients can be added with less risk. [/QUOTE]
