The United States Department of Agriculture suggests extra fertilization for weak gardens. A top dressing for 100 square feet uses a complete mix with 5 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphoric acid, and 5 percent potash, or bone meal at the same rate for slower action. If color is poor, nitrogen from nitrate of soda or ammonium sulfate at a quarter pound per 100 square feet may be needed.
Agricultural squibs advise spring grain sown after fertilized crops may not repay extra fertilizer. Choose a silage corn variety that can reach grazing stage in a normal season.
