[QUOTE="Spud, post: 5906062, member: 78"] I've always thought slurry spread onto chopped straw would be a good idea, and less risk of importing blackgrass etc. Everything baled here though, most of it put through the pigs and back out as muck. Ottomh there is about 7kg/t each of p&k, so roughly 3 quid of k & £4.50 of P. N is negligible, but lots of trace elements. I charge my pig enterprise straw at what I could sell it at, (this year £55/t ex field) and sell the arable the muck at £8/t. From an arable perspective, I count the om/soil conditioning element as equivalent to the cost of spreading the muck. Muck is one thing that does more than it says on the tin - benefits last more than one season and it provides more than it's nutritional value. Also seen more benefit from not ploughing it down, in spuds and cereals. [/QUOTE]
