Organic Fertilizer for Hay Pastures? We're contemplating using organic fertlizier for our hay pastures this year, but we're wondering if anyone out there has used it, and how it worked for them. The fertilizer that we usually use is incredibly expensive, and it keeps costing more and more every year, so we're looking for effective, less expensive options. Obviously a seller will have a biased opinion about their product, so any opinions would be appreciated! They're pre-established pastures, and we run cows on them during the winter months, so there's already manure on them. We typically use 21-8-17 blend, but because of the cost, we're exploring other options. One option we've seen uses a fish and seaweed fertlizer, as well as other compounds to fertlize.

It's made of water and part of another plant that I can't divulge.My fertilizer when poured on a plant ,with in 3-4 days, if not sooner the plant will turn really green and looks healthier. My mom die last March and I took one of the cut flowers (a rose) and put the rose stem in a pot of dirt (after I had put rooting mixture on it), the stem didn't do anything except set there but still alive for about 2 months, so I poured my solution on it and it started to grow in less than 2 week, leaves were sprouting, now it about 3 ft, and has spouted more growth from the dirt I haven't repotted it and its in a small pot, it would probably be bigger than it is.

I mean do you think it would sell, I'm not selling it now I'm just doing market research...and this does do what I said it's not what BC implied.....
