We'll probably just scatter pelletized with the tractor going forward. Honestly, while the cost/lb is far steeper, in the quantities we use, every 3-4 years, it's easier to just do it ourselves. I do know our soil needs it regularly.


I guess they won't drop off a buggy and only will deliver in a spreader truck? In the past we have had a buggy full delivered from the co-op and then we get another 6-8 tons in bulk tote bags and put them on a gooseneck. Then we transfer the totes to pickups and refill the buggy in each plot. The biggest pain is unhooking the tractor each time to load.
