haven't bought any compound fertiliser here for over 10 years, even though we have a bit of wheat land too. We buy in feed and extra straw. All within NVZ rules. Do need to lime every now and again.
Yep, it was 15+ years ago I worked for him.Just the terminology! ;-)
I am long familiar with the term and technique, it was what John Cherrington was describing in his books on farming in the early part of the 20C, using feedstuffs imported from the Empire, when it really was Cake that was fed!
(Feeling old now! Where did that 15 years go?)
Around same time I was questioning my agronomist for the quantity of p & k he was telling me to apply to cereals when I had indexes of around 4. And he'd just been telling me of the possibility of NVZ type restrictions being applied to P (or was it K?)
