Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 27692, member: 944"] I don't think we are talking about the same thing. Commercial growers fertilize thousands of acres and use tons of fertilizer at a time. What you are referring to is soluable fertilizers. Farmers use fertilizers that are more like pellets or granules. They load it in fertilizer spreaders that can be 30' wide and it actually incorporates or buries the fertilizer. Then right behind the spreader comes the planter loaded with tons of seed and the planter can plant 20-30 rows at a time, and all of this at the speed of walking. If you put this fertilizer in water it would just turn to mush and plug up the machinery. 'I sometimes use a liquid fertilizer but I find it is more expensive than a 40lb bag of granular and I can't remember the last time I used a soluable organic fertilizer. I am not even sure if there is such a thing [/QUOTE]
