I bought couple of ton today to spread on some sh!t land as apparently it sweetens grass and makes stock eat it . Any one tried it ? I always thought salt killed grass lol
Is agg salt different to bom s salt ? This product is from zero to 8 mm for spreading .I’ve bought Ag Salt in 600kg bags on a few occasions for just that job. Last lot was £110/t iirc, and spreading it on the grass means sodium levels in the grass should be elevated, raising intakes.
I’m not entirely convinced it made much difference tbh, but certainly going to be more effective than throwing a few lumps of overpriced rock salt about imo. If you want Himalayan Rock salt there are cheaper (& less pushy) sources, @Adam@Rumen ‘s product is just as good and half the price. After all, it’s just lumps of salt hacked out of a contaminated seam in the Himalayas…

I thought so but Neil hinting something different ?It's just all sodium chloride is it not?

Our posts crossed and I am certainly not in a position to argue.Spread salt on a field that has a high K index regularly.
K makes grass tough and unpalatable.
It has made a big difference.
Index in this field is over 4.Our posts crossed and I am certainly not in a position to argue.
Dairy boys use it to sweaten grass that has been slurried to death. You would have been better using slag imoI bought couple of ton today to spread on some sh!t land as apparently it sweetens grass and makes stock eat it . Any one tried it ? I always thought salt killed grass lol
I remember a neighbour who was a very early adopter of a slurry system. They complained that the cows were not grazing the pasture near the dairy. That was getting virtually all the manure on it and the cows would sooner walk 500 yards than touch the very lush pasture on the doorstep. We certainly never had this issue , despite using very heavy amount of NDairy boys use it to sweaten grass that has been slurried to death. You would have been better using slag imo
That is all we used on sugar beetIve go some road salt in the shed, is it any use spreading that
Which index is over 4, are you not getting close to lock up, just thinking aloud here , feel free to put me straightIndex in this field is over 4.
We never put slurry on it only composted FYM as it has a better P to K ratio
