I've got an alfalfa-timothy field that's been established for 4 years and hasn't been fertilized for the past two years. The guy that bales it has had some minor money complications plus the high price of fertilizer hasn't made me complain too much yet. We share cost 50/50 and the same on the yield.
The local sewer plant has N-viro which is sludge mixed with fly ash for $1.25/Ton and it's described as being a 1-1-1 fertilizer which is similar to gypsum.
The farmer is scared of getting the ph too low, while I feel we've neglected feeding the crop and I'd like to put on at least 3 ton/acre. The recommended rate is 3 to 5 ton/acre. When I looked up gypsum on alfalfa it recommended 2.66 ton/acre every two years.
I'm not concerned with heavy metals, it's not approaching any of the warning thresholds of any.
