    Solid fertilizer

    Would appreciate any advice on what to do with a mini bulk bag of urea/phos blend that is now a solid block ?

      I'd say the same thing... mash it up. If you dont have availability of a spreader, and can't get it to smash up effectively, perhaps dissolving in water and blowing out with a fire hose?

        With all due respect gofer, the best thing you probably could have done is not keep/store it. If you're in a humid climate...even more important to get rid of it.

        We haven't carried any dry fert over since I can't remember. Alot of retailers have broadcasters to get rid of a bit of left over fert.

        To each there own.

          Yeah... our dealer in their wisdom sold their spreader because of maintenance issues. Sad because we can't be the only ones who have new rented land come up with smaller acres than stated Guess we should have made the gate wider into pasture land so the air drill could get through to blow it out.

          Thanks for suggestions to crush it down. Can't hurt to try.

            Break it up and put it through an auger

              What rented land had fewer acres than the landlord said was there? Has to be the first time that has happened.
