What fertilizers do you use on crops?


Recommended Posts


If your only on a small holding or garden then poultry pellets are very good normally retail about £8 or €10 per 10kg bucket............

 

either that or farmyard manure forked through the soil.............. ;)

horse poop we got a whole pile of it and if you dig in to the middle its rotted down so much it dont smell at all so good to use as compost........and the outer bits are gud for the garden.....also good for finding worms for the piranha........that shite pile has many uses :laugh:

thats all we can do but,like i said theres nothing organic and people still flog there products to the naive public under the "organic"banner and feed their chickens on corn/wheat which is loaded with nitrogen. build yourself large wormerys s , a good source of nitrogen :thumbs:

If your anywhere near the sea, I've had good results mucking with seaweed.

 

Live on the banks of the shannon estuary so plenty of seaweed about. do you just throw it on the surface of the ground or chop it up and mix it in to the soil?

In the backend you can just spread it on the surface, it breaks down very quickly, but if your doing it now you would want to fork it in, you can also include it in your compost heap.

 

Nice one thanks

Seaweeds grand stuff :victory:

We manure every five years with well rotted stable manure but every year give em a bit of fish blood and bone meal a fortnight after planting and one of the best tips ive been given is to put rhubarb and comfrey leaves in the water butt when they rot down they stink but it feeds the plants and most importantly it keeps the pests off especially cabbage white butterflys as there catterpillars are a pain :good:
