Not too worried by FYM if I know where it's come from. AD has too many unknowns and I've got a soil analysis of some of local stuff and it doesn't bring that much. I'd be wary of AD, would be happier with compost as it's typically garden waste.
Recent rain will be helping you down there!
I've not grown any CC because our spring crops are usually poor performers and I need them to do more than they have previously done. I think the soil has had a lot of the fertility beaten out of it by having spuds in the rotation when we rented it out, but that was a few years ago and the structure is recovering.Tell me more about your spring crop performance and cover crops...what's the issue?
AD was clean of BG seed, as feedstock didn't come from an appropriate source....it's definitely the reason I won't have FYM anywhere near this place. More concerned about the nature of the bacteria from AD, but given the season was so dry, it didn't concern me too much.
Catch up before would be good, else see you there!
