Slurry can be a valuable product with plenty savings

Stan Lalor of Teagasc puts a value of €30 on 1,000 gallons of undiluted slurry, or the equivalent to one 50kg bag of a 6-5-38 fertiliser.

About 85% of the value comes from the P and K but if it is spread in the spring, much of the N (worth €5 per 1,000 gallons) can be utilised.

Slurry is a very valuable product and, if used correctly, can make a great saving in purchased fertiliser.
