Episode Description

We unpack why liquid fertilizer math trips people up and discuss how to figure out how to determine pounds of fertilizer in a liquid fertilizer. We talk real examples and show how small liquid fertilizer densities can drastically affect starter outcomes, especially in cold soils.

In this Tiny Bytes, we talk

• the dry vs liquid mindset shift 
• how density changes gallons into pounds 
• where to find pounds per gallon on fertilizer labels 
• comparing phosphorus from 10-34-0 and 6-24-6 
• implications for starter fertilizer in cold springs 
• simple rules to avoid under or over application

Tune in next time for a Tiny Byte of knowledge from GK Technology, where we have a map and an app for that
