Nettles grow like bloody hell here with no fertiliser at all!
nettles always seek out good ground though
Nettles grow like bloody hell here with no fertiliser at all!
Got a couple of experiments going on.
Interesting graph , point A would be a lot lower here ,Why use none at all when the first couple of units give the best economic return on the cost.?

Any point on the response curve between A and B will give more profit than no fert.
Won’t kill anything either.Well it won’t grow anything sitting in the shed.
Found two cans of Seaweed extract my father must have bought 20 years ago. Will it still be usable.
Why?Excluding organic
They should sea you through for at least one sea-son!
Have a guessWhy?
Colonialism at its best. Plunder the natives resources then clear off.We grow literally thousands of acres of crops without fertiliser. We aren’t organic and don’t believe in it either but it’s down to rotation and crop residues. All our broccoli,cabbage,peas and baby corn is grown without fertiliser. French Beans which are about 25 per cent of the rotation get a base dressing of 12. 46. 0 and trace elements of about 60 kg an acre. Potatoes get about 30 tonne an acre and 200 kgs of 12. 46. 0 . Overall we grow about 4000 acres of crops on 130 tonnes of artificial fertiliser. A four month wheat crop will yield 2300 kgs an acre on 50 kgs an acre of 40%N6%S. We’ve tried increasing fertiliser rates but we don’t get any extra yield for it.
