[QUOTE="Barleycorn, post: 842108, member: 143"] I think that Elaine is inspiring, and last year I showed her round the farm. I had one block of Lucerne where I told her that due to taking three good cuts I had severe potash deficiency, so supplemented with a couple of hundredweight of sulphate of potash. She then told me that that would harm my soil, and if I left it 'the bugs' would sort it out. It is a very chalky thin soiled field, but we are now getting some worm activity, but K is very low still both available and unavailable on an Albrecht test. I intend to supplement again this year, but will leave a couple of acres, and will also do a couple of acres with compost tea to compare. Elaine may be right, we have only been farming this way for 8 years, perhaps in time it will get better. Certainly the grazing ground and arable crops are doing well on compost. [/QUOTE]
