[QUOTE="BPip, post: 7391141, member: 148500"] My fertiliser is horse manure fed 95% mixed grass off-farm produced hay forage and some beet pulp, and the bedding is miscanthus. My tests have been on all food crops, tomatoes, potatoes, squashes, peas, beans etc - they’ve all suffered twisting, distorted leaves, slow growth, odd shaped fruiting when it occurred, and very low yield if the plants survived yielding. With the re-seeding grass land last march i used the same fertiliser as above, tilled top 6 inches of virgin organic land of scalped cut old meadow grasses, very heavy seed broadcast of 20kg per acre, then rolled, it all germinated brilliantly, when it got to around 3 inches tall, i spread the fertliser, well rotten horse manure of many yrs, looked like loam soil. Grass grew more, very lush, but by september no heading....end of october nothing headed and it started turning yellow when the cold hit. Soil ph perfect of averaging 6.5 and weather was perfect for it. Quite curious to see if it heads this year! i wont be using the manure. Never known such a thing as no heading grass year 1. [/QUOTE]
