How much nitrogen fert can I save by using dribble bar?

[Speedstar]

Yes we have done a lot of research in to spreading Slurry and on grass a trailing shoe is the best there is ,it will grow more grass than anything else and cattle and sheep will eat the grass after Slurry has been applied

How long after application do you graze it?

How long after application do you graze it?

Some people graze it the next day , but our trailing shoe puts it in the ground like a injector

Thats fairly moving away on

Bowling green flat

Feck all, 2 units per 1000 gallon, need to spread 10 million gallons just to pay for it, running cost on top.

We do work on organic farms and they can grow 8 to 10 tons of first cut grass at 32%dm , timing is the answer for these farmers

I always get shot down for this. But its near impossible to spread 1500 gal acre. People who say they spread low rates like that must have smoother paddocks than us

what you need is a much wider dribble bar

Growing 13tondm a year with slurry only for years, from are our experiences, I can grow enough extra to pay for a dribble bar and it's running cost

To cover Cornwall and Devon

Which trialing shoe do you use? Our was a slurrykat

We run a dribble bar and 3 trailing shoe's and running costs are the same on both

Our slurry has grit from the mud stone in the soil, like sand but more abrasive, than is what killed our dribble bar

What did it do to it ?

Injector you could be grazing in 3 days

Aye and you'd be grazing docks next round!

That is disc injection problem
That is not a problem with our trailing shoe system

 

[som farmer]

one things for certain, we have all got to get used to much greater regulations, on spreading shite, only when the crops need it, and no splash plate, l think those designing the new regs, have zero practical experience. At least one idea got binned, insisting slurry/muck, had to be incorporated within 24 hours. Wonder how much grant aide will be rolling around, when they announce it.
The plus side, many will learn there are benefits from using slurry/muck, especially with the cost of N.
On docks, how many of us spray around our lagoons, docks deposit their seeds, in the ideal carrier, which we then distribute very effectively.

I urge caution in grazing grass too quickly after any slurry application.

Just because it looks uncontaminated doesn't mean it's not

There’s an Irish company advertising at the top of this thread. I’m pretty sure their trailing shoe kit won’t be £20k

Which company is that, I cant see it? My contractor had a quote for a dribble bar at 15,000 to me it makes more sense to have a trailing shoe for an extra 5 as once the splash plate is gone the dribble bar will be next on 5he hit list from what I can gather :/

Most importantly, the liquid manure lands on the plants instead of under them if the dribble bar system is being used on grassland or growing crops. Trailing shoes penetrate the ground at the base of the plants, then distribute the liquid manure
