Stoltzfus, Gap 'RH A BARGAIN IN NATURAL PHOSPHORUS AND SOIL TESTING The Reams soil testing and balancing program is giving extraordinary large and nutritious crops, calling for high phosphorus according to po tash and high calcium according to magnesium. The correct ratios really click. Soft rock phosphate (21% phosphorus) mined in Florida is re commended because it has so many minerals also, plus lots of calcium. We are taking orders for the third car load bulk (probably the fourth by the time you read this) at $BO per ton dumped in the spreader truck. Spreading is according to distance from New Holland. A REAL BARGAIN BECAUSE - No processing costs. No blending. No bags needed. No reloading before it gets here. Most livestock farmers in this area have enough potash according to phosphorus. Adding potash would adversely affect the ratio. For nitrogen buy poultry manure which is well proven in this program which makes large, nutritious, healthy insect resistant crops. Or better yet, use Agrispon or BX which are nitrogen fixing bacteria. There is plenty of nitrogen in the air which can be collected by these bacteria which we sell. They are best put on in the fall (including the phosphorus) or early spring second best, to condition the soil ahead of planting. Phosphorus is more available that way. No leaching. It bonds to the soil and stays there till needed. A heavy application is sufficient for 5 years. Local farmers have proven it and are ordering again from us. 6% DISCOUNT dumped on your farm in case cars must be unloaded in wet or snow, however, that is optional. We can pile it under plastic. Mixed with manure enhances the value of both. The minerals in it feed the bacteria to decompose the manure which is much better than raw manure, produces healthier crops and saves fertilizer. Our phosphorus and suggestions would save you much money. Take advantage of them like many others are doing free nitrogen, better manure, better once on fertilizer, reduced need for fertilizer later when price is higher. ORGANIC CENTER 217 S.
