We no-till hobby farm a few acres. This is rolling land and fairly erodible. I have hated broadcasting nutrients on top of the ground while knowing that a large percentage of them will end up in the local river.
Does anyone apply P and K in narrow bands with liquid nutrients? I was thinking 10" spacing at 4-5 inches deep. Does anyone see an issue with this? I thought it was worth the cost of a liquid rig just to keep the nutrients at home where they belong. Strip till is not really an option for me for simple economic reasons. The rig simply costs too much and in the south we have very little issue with cool soils. Bare bones no-till works well for us other than figuring out how to get the nutrients in the root zone.
Any experiences, thoughts or advice is appreciated.
