Tillage - in small(er) quantities ?
« on: April 21, 2016, 09:23:22 am »
I am situated in West Yorkshire - where can I get tillage in less than 600kg bags  (need about 200 kg)

Pref 50 - 100kg and not bothered what proportion

Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received

Thanks

What is Tillage?  I thought tillage was the act of tilling, soil. etc.

I guess you mean till or fertiliser. Ask your feed merchant.

What exactly are you after?   

If you change your subject line so those with info can help.  Tillage is soil working. 

I think you mean fertiliser which does come in 25kg bags from most places... But nitrogen rich ones don't to reduce risk of being used for bomb making!!!

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Sorry, round here tillage is what you call fertiliser

So some 20 -10-10 to put on my hay meadow, at 2 or 3 cwt ( 50kgs for folk that don't understand imperial) per acre , is what I want

Smallest quantities from local merchants are 500 kg
Do not have the means to spread, so small bags needed

Ask one of your local farmers to split a bag with you?
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
