Re: Tillers

allen, absolutly right on, if you can find someone to fhire, and if they have the right equipment and if they'll actually do it when you need it done... too many ifs. we never could find someone to cut and bale hay as kc says if you want something done do it yourself on another note we did

Re: Nutrient blockers

Hi! TaChung Huang, We have an extreme case in some quartz sand soils on Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, where long term use of acid fertilizer has lowered the pH to around 4.1 - 4.2, which means the crops are struggling and mineral deficient.
