[QUOTE="Ranchcop, post: 173452, member: 2751"] Lazy M, I agree with you on composting, and here at Watson Ranch the compost that goes into our Aerobic Compost Tea is not only properly composted but then feed to Earth Worms for a Huge boost in just about every nutrient the plant needs. What I was saying, because of the fact that many times that uncomposted chicken litter is used, it is better to spray Effective Micro Organisms on top of them to decompose them faster and fight any bad bacteria that is in the uncomposted litter. That goes for any organic matter applied to a field that is not properly composted. I would like to correct you on one thing, I do not carry Emulsions. I carry Hydrolized fish, there is a big difference. When talking about Fish Emulsions, the way it is manufacture is, all the marketable products in the fish are taken out, meat, bone/calcium, oil ect. Then the remains are cooked up and sold as Fish Emulsions fertilizer, it is smelly and not very effective. Hydorlized fish, is a cold process using the whole fish with all the goodies still there. It is an excellent fertilizer product that has many benefits to the soil and the livestock. It is not nearly as smelly. The Garlic product that I use to help control leaf eating insects, when applied with the Fish and Seaweed product, becomes systemic in the plant and will not wash off. I have even noticed that when the garlic is applied for two years in a row, in a hay pasture, that the third year there is enough left in the grass to carry me thru the third year. I have not been brave enough to chance it into the fourth year, I just re apply, shoot it is only $3.00 per acre. Brad [/QUOTE]
