Soil & Livestock Nutrition
Soil Nutrition
Alfalfa Meal– A good alternative to blood meal for a source of nitrogen, balaced with phosphorus and potassium. An excellent soil conditioner that encourages microbial activity. 2.5-3% Nitrogen. Use 2-3# per 100 sq.ft.
Feed-N-Grow 4-2-4-An organic multipurpose plant food. Readily available nutrients for vigorous seedlings with time release nutrients to feed the crop throughout the season. Contains feather meal, composted chicken manure, greensand, bone meal, peanut meal, Chilean nitrate, sulphate of potash, and gypsum.
3-4-7 Super K – FertrellHigh Potassium Mix. A good fit for many UP soils.
Berry Mix – This blended plant food helps berries grow bigger, juicier and more flavorful. Berry Mix works in most soil types and is best when applied at the end of the season. Typical analysis: 4-2-4.
Worm Castings-A balanced soil amendment. Can be added to houseplants, potting mix, and gardens for a rich mix of micronutrients, microbial organisms and organic matter. Contains Nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, plus calcium and magnesium.
Phostrell– 0-6-0 Good for soils low in calcium and phosphorus. Derived from calcium carbonate, and bone char. This will benefit most soils in the UP.
Rock Phosphate –.This high-carbon rock phosphate is a great source of phosphorous, calcium and essential trace elements. It also has about one-fifth of lime’s neutralizing power. Because it releases best at a low pH,Fertrell Rock Phosphate should be applied before liming.
Kelp Meal-Good for soil as well as animals. Dried and ground kelp contains trace minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. Use 1-2#/100 sq.ft.
Blood Meal-An organic nitrogen source that is quickly released into the soil. Use 3-5# per 100 sq.ft. Can help repel deer.
Bone Meal-An organic readily available source of phosphorus and calcium. Use 1-2# per 100 sq.ft.
Feather Meal–13-0-0 A good source of slow release nitrogen.
Humates-Significantly improves poor soils. 65% humic acid in a carbon matrix helps make minerals and nutrients available to soil organisms and plants. Extensive tests show marked crop improvement when humates are applied. Use 5# per 100 sq.ft.
Sul-Po-Mag-(0-0-12, 11%Mg,17%S) -Langbeinite is a marine deposit with soluble potassium sulfate and magnesium sulfate. Use 1# per 100 sq.ft. Good for alliums and potatoes.
Pest Control
Diatomaceous Earth-Use to control soft bodied pests like cutworm, cabbage looper, and larval potato beetles. Use as a dust on plants. Must be reapplied after a rain.
