March Garden Notes Proper Use of Manure
Manure should be broadcast at 10 to 20 tons per acre as garden fertilizer, adjusted to soil fertility. Spring applications must be well rotted. A mix of manure and 500 pounds of superphosphate per 10 tons manure suits most soils. Leafy vegetables need nitrogen. tomatoes prefer manure with phosphoric acid and moderate nitrogen. Cantaloupe and watermelon respond well to manure. use 5 to 10 pounds per hill plus a shallow application of superphosphate. After establishment, side dress with nitrogen fertilizer on sandy soils. Do not use manure on Irish and sweet potatoes. over-fertilizing soil with manure harms sweet potatoes. For Irish potatoes, apply manure to a prior crop. sweet potatoes thrive on moderately fertile land with high potash.
