Fertilizer a little lumpy!!

[Fendt516profi]

Granular urea?

Can you pick a bag out the shed, lift it above the spreader, slit the bottom and the whole contents just flow freely out?

Npk. Yes slit in bottom and it runs out then just shake bag to get bits out of corners

Origin lumpy here to. Is it worth complaining?

 

[Lofty1984]

Taken to bumping it on the floor then pushing it over then pulling it back over onto the other side

I'm sure every fertiliser company has a very expensive and rigorous Assurance Scheme it has to be a member of in order to sell its products in the UK as all its customers won't buy them otherwise, so perhaps we should be complaining to that.............

You beat me to it....

Been doing the same here

 

[Lofty1984]

As annoying as it is it does at least it does break up while spreading

Yes, they generally pay for your time messing about with it, but tractor spreader on a nice day is worth quite a bit per hour

To be fair, with fert not far off £300/t + we as customers shouldn’t accept any lumps or below standard product.
Can you imagine sending in a load of wheat or barley with lumps and stuck together! It would be on the next load back to the yard and we’d have to pay the haulage as well. Anyone spoke to trading standards?

 

[Shutesy]

'Tin hat on' we've had no lumps in our liquid fert !

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Rarely get a problem with lithan, had one bag lumpy last year which was discounted after complaining

I’ve not had any lumps in any of my bagged fert and not even needed to bang the bag on the floor but, I also didn’t buy any Origin. I just fanning the flames

 

[bobajob]

Don't bang the bags on the floor too hard, someone I know did this and the bag split!!
Rep told me to roll the bags onto their side with the loader, it helps brake up the lumps a little better.
I have heard Origin bag it when it's warm off the plant and that's why it's lumpy, that and the sulphur.
Lots of excuses....

I remember a neighbour breaking the scuttle off his vicon wagtail when a solid bag dropped into it.
I haven’t had many lumpy bags for a year or two but used to lay them on their sides and drive over them if they were really bad. A hefty fence stake is good for whacking them with.

I’ve had no end of problem with Origin fertiliser this year and when I complained I was told I’m the first complaint they have had

how many times have i heard that?

 

[Chae1]

Some lumps today.

Got better things to do than battering bags with a lump hammer to get it to run out.

 

[colhonk]

My Origin n + sulphur last spring

still got a few tonne in shed to use now.
had no reply from them when I complained.
Simply will not buy any of their stuff again.

sounds like you will be in a q! why do we accept this shiI? problem is the day we start cutting the bags is the day we need it!

That’s the trouble when it’s bought and paid for months in advance of use.
If it hadn’t been paid for you’d just point to the small print where it says good remain the property of until paid in full, tell em it ain’t fit for purpose and fetch it back.

A retired salesman told me the same that if bagged when hot will form lumps
