Yes, it’s Robert again!
Oh – no – I didn’t mean….well…it’s not ROBERT who smells…
…but then, it could be….Oh! You know what I mean!!
Today was the start of one more of the annual spring tasks around here. Many people don’t realize what great value there is in good old-fashioned manure. (Yes, I did say that with a straight face.)
The obvious component of course, is the group of nutrients that are available right away to the soil, and the soon-growing (we hope!) crops. Besides that though, as the organic matter – bedding, uneaten feed, etc – slowly breaks down, the soil benefits for several years to come.
Don’t worry. That ‘country fresh’ aroma won’t last long. It’s always best to go over the field as soon as possible after spreading and work the stinky stuff into the soil – both for nutrient management purposes AND to keep on speaking terms with all of our good neighbours!
Summer IS coming – it HAS to be!
