Spreading fibrophos

[Clive]

This is a product I have never used but am looking at for the spring / winter

Seems its usually contractor spread ? why is this ? I have a K45 would that do the job ? would I need lime discs or fert ? how far can you throw it with decent pattern ?

Looking at using the Extra K product - anyone that wants to quote for about 100t to spread over winter please PM if you can supply

spreads to 12m reliably. not sure what discs you need but the product is quite light. good product, makes sense compared to PK blends/compounds

I think your spreader would work well to spread it , the fibro foss I've used in the past is very fine but weighs quite heavy bit like yellow sand I'd guess.

Do our own with a old econ lime spreader i spread in 8 mtr bouts . Very good stuff and cheap source of p and k .

Clive,
You will do it ok with lime discs and your K45 IMo to 12m reliably.
Our contractor is using a K85 with the same discs, doing a job unless its too windy.

You might get a better deal for supply and spread through a contractor than you could for just supply direct from the supplier. I'd imagine contractors who use a fair volume would get preferential rates.

Your spreader would do it a treat Clive. Just use the square lime discs without the top circle piece. It may work with the six vane fert discs, but I've not used them before. It will stick on the vanes a bit, especially if its a damp atmosphere. Just scrape them clean regularly and it will be fine.

thanks Pete

do you supply ? is it a bulk of bagged product

think I'm looking at 500kgs/ha type application rates of the extra K product every other year ?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

It's bulk, delivered in artic loads.

Don't you read my riveting and imformative letters?!!

they need more pictures to capture my eye !

Ball part figure around £100.00 perton this year around here.

 

[Cab-over Pete]

It depends on grade and area for haulage.

It will always be less than a bagged equivalent.

£110/T up here 0.16.16

 

[Cab-over Pete]

They only have the 0-16-16 in the far north.

Do you travel to Shropshire.

 

[oldoaktree]

I've bought it off several companies in the past the last from a company near York . There's different types some slightly better than others 0-14-14 upto 0-18-18 so they tell me all depends on which power station it comes out of .if anyone wants more information on a York supplier pm me and I can past information on to you

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Do you travel to Shropshire.

No, sorry. If you call Hatcher Fertilisers they will tell you the local supplier.

Do you travel to Shropshire.

I heard Wynnstay do it. When I enquired somewhere, I ended up getting a phone call from the local lime man 3 miles away, so I suppose a lot will supply it. He never did get back with a price though.
