We have considered slurry to be a valuable source of nutrients for a long time now and would have always said that we spent time planning our slurry application to make the most effective use of it.

However, when the price of fertiliser skyrocketed, we spent twice as much time planning our slurry application for the year and it was at that moment I realised that even though we thought we were doing great work planning our slurry application there was still much room for improvement.
