fertilizer

[dragmerc]

for you guys that don't grow your own food, you better be stocking up.
i just paid $27 for a 50lb. bag of fertilizer.
that's more than double from last year.
those wind mills and solar panels must not be working too good.

Then you can get all the fertilizer you want. Prices are going up due to the War in Ukraine and inflation. I spent over $500 on groceries when I usually paid about $400 for the same thing last month. But at least I'm able to have groceries delivered to my house. Ukrainians are doing without food water and heat. We have it pretty good here in the USA compared to many others.

i can tell you're not a farmer.
cows eat too and hay doesn't grow without fertilizer.
i started farming by raising baby calves on a bottle.
as for grocery prices...you ain't seen nothing yet.
yes, we have it great here due to those racist white Europeans that set up the rules to make us great.
capitalism is cruel sometimes, but it works.

I hear you about capitalism. It works better than a dictatorship with the wrong dictator.

The only thing that I fertilize these days is a blueberry bush that provides us with big fat plump blueberries from late June to August. I'm on my last quart bag of frozen blueberries in the freezer. I grab a small handful of blueberries out of the bag each morning to eat with my oatmeal. I purchased a quart of fresh blueberries from the store today and they were awful. Small and shriveled up. I put them into a quart size freezer zip loc bag and will use them with my oatmeal for as long as they last. I wish it was June already and I had some blueberries on the bush that were ripe and ready to pick. I get that fertilizer in a plastic jar called Shake and Feed. It has the regular amounts of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous.

When my dad was still gardening, we would get a pickup truck full of horse manure and throw it over the garden and then till it into the soil every year. Then he would buy phosphate rock dust in large 50 lb. bags and put that into the soil. Phosphorous is a limiting nutrient. Do you know what limiting nutrient means?

Co Op's sell a lot of things.

Co Op's sell a lot of things.

back then, we sold mostly dairy feed and fertilizer.
only a few farms left so they've had to start selling trinkets and flowers for the city people.
