First of all.....SO GOOD TO SEE Jamie, TWO GUNS... talking and sharing his excellent common sense and knowledge again...............
It's fall seed and feed time for my pastures. Most are hilly and with a mix of some trees that one has to dodge around when spreading fert, seed, and herbicide. I have been using my "Bumper Buddy" spreader on the tailgate of my RTV to do this with excellent results.
In the past, I have always used pellet fertilizer of various strengths. The other day I came across liquid fret at TSC that is 19-19-19 and a couple of others. The rate is 1/2 gallon to 50 gallons per acre. Got some and applied it; but to soon yet to tell the difference. I brought the subject up at my farm store where I usually get my Ag stuff. He went into a sermon about the fact that how could they put the same amount of nitrogen in a 2 gallon can that 4 50 pound sacks of high content pellet has per acre......
Got me to thinking so gotta ask the fine folks on here their experience with the liquid. Spraying is so much easier than spreading; but does the liquid last very long and is really just as effective. Pellet last 45 to 60 days; but I can spray an acre in perhaps 10 minutes while spreading takes perhaps twice as long.....................THOUGHTS?????????
God bless......Dennis
