it works out at 26 euro for a 20 kg bag to acre and u mix it into the spreader as u fill from a half tonne or u can spread it directly as it is in granular form it contains sodium 33%, cooper 2.3%, zinc1.1%, cobalt 0.1% iodine0.1%and selenium0.03%

33% sodium, it's basically salt. Whats in the other 60% it wouldn't be lime by any chance?
