Everything should dissolve with the exception of the JS mix. So it can go out through the the boom spray but you see a lot of people put it through a 100 micron filter from a dissolving tank.
part of the reason I bought the T&F as it uses a trash pump, that helps mix and dissolve with no filters and a 3mm spray orifice. Removes the majority…

I haven’t tried this but apparently a mix of milk and molasses diluted in water and sprayed out over the area might do the trick.

We also have a mix of pastures with some already at 2500kg/ha and looking good, but others only at around 1500kg/ha. Our various brassicas, radish, mustards, vetch, clover etc aren’t going to like the…

Reply to Sourcing fishmeal for hydrolysate production
Hello
WA Bait in O’Connor do a seconds mullies trap bait. They are a whole soft fish so better than heads in terms of quality. They are mullies that have gone on the floor and may have metal in the mix so not good to go through a mincer. That said they break down well in a barrel of hydrolysate. They are between $2-3 /kg for 20kg boxes. 08 9314…

Reply to Where does everyone source their Fulvic acid and trace minerals?
I get the Fulvic and humic from Nutrien in Margs.
The trace elements and other nutrients I’ve been buying the Campbells brand from E E Muirs and Son Perth but the is a Manjimup store too.

Geoff- I have stuck with using the 20kg drums to make it a bit easier. All I could suggest is a hand drum pump. There are different versions for fuel, oil, chemicals etc. but the viscosity will be the key driver
