    Isn't the growing season coming to an end soon anyway which would presumely mean alot of your fertilizer would be wasted:confused:

    every year is different , we are not allowed to spread after 15 september and i for one havent spread as much fertiliser this year , hoping by getting a bit out now and in a few weeks we can have the cows out for longer

    Oh I know ye are growing us all our food and we all appreciate that, I just really really wish the spreading of fertiliser (by which I take it ye mean manure) wasn't a necessary evil in Ireland! Sometimes the smell of an unexpected bit of fertilisation would take your breath away when you're driving with the window open! Although it must be worse for ye having to actually go out and spread it! Thanks for growing the food and cows etc anyway!

    WhodahWoodah the people on here are talking about artificial fertilizer which has no smell. Slurry is the one that smells and most farmers actually dont mind the smell, we dont love it but have gotten used to it. And your welcome for the food ;) and sorry about the smell but it has to be done.

    Fair enough-I didn't know ye were talking about artificial fertiliser. I like to think that I was clear that I wasn't giving out about slurry really. I know it has to be done and I appreciate farmers doing it. That was totally my mistake (holding hands up in shame :-))

    If you do not appreciate the finer things in life, it's a pretty sad outlook:D

    Of course there is never a bad smell in the city:pac:
