Oh it all sounds a little complicated. |
Also, remember that I usually work with people on farm scales.
For gardening it's easier to think of heavy feeders (tomatoes, squash, etc) very heavy feeders (sweet corn) and lighter feeders (greens, legumes, etc).
If you know your soil's organic matter, you can estimate about 10 lb nitrogen per acre for each 1% organic matter.
If the sites had compost applied regularly, phosphorus and potassium won't likely be the limiting factor - that's usually nitrogen.
(but if not, then you'll need the chicken manure, etc, to supply enough P and K) |
