    Dairygold are doing good credit on fertlizer and feed tid year if you bought before March. It was 5/ton for cash. However you could split the payment over three months if you did not pay cash , June/July/August I calculated credit was costing about 2.5%/anum or 1,25% for the credit period.

    that deal has been improved I think in that any feed or fert bought before end of april can be paid off interest free over 4 months june,july,august and september

    Not a fan of dairygold. Bought fertiliser from them recently. Refused to do any deal for paying upfront on fertiliser. Also bought some gran lime from them, as I was stuck. They quoted me one price over the phone but when I turned up a week later said it went up €10 a tonne. I told them the stuff outside their yard was old stock as I parked up alongside it before going into shop. It was last years stock. Plastic discoloured and green on side sun don't shine. They shrugged shoulders and said nothing they can do on price.

    TBH one thing about them(and in general same with Kerry) the staff have no leeway with computer generated prices. However was buying barley and got pallet price taking it in half ton lots. Lads told me not to worry about finishing pallet as he book back last couple bags if it came to it.

    That is the reality normally they discount 5/ton for cash up front however they are really pushing the credit option this year. TBF there discounts are fairly visibler, it was 5/ton for early ordering/delivery, 5/cash, and then they discount you at 12 ton and 18 ton mark I think. Lad I deal with is fair and up front and it is up to me to see if I can better it.

    Bought my fertlizer in late January I think, they delivered it no farting around

    I'd spread it. A dew or a mist will get it going. Won't grow anything in the bag !

    Is physoilith available from the merchants or do you have to get it through the manufactures rep


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,301 ✭✭✭A cow called Daisy


    Maybe it been discussed here before but cant find it on search of thread, but did anyone ever use a fertiliser with 'AVAIL' in it. Lakeland (I'm presume among others) are selling it. This meanr to make the phosphorous more available to the soil. Analysis is 24-4-0. Not sure how much of this 'avail' is in it. It around €410 a ton.
    Any thoughts or is it just a marketing gimmick?

    Some Co ops stock it. Anytime I got it, it was through timac rep. They have been taken over by grassland in kk since

    it looks good on paper but i suppose as anything u would like to see reports of what way it is on the ground

    Generally, what's the price difference between collecting fertiliser and having it delivered (large 500 Kg Bags). I normally collect it my self and I am only 4 miles or so from local COOP.

    Most Co-op charge nothing and in some cases less than straight from co-op price. reason being is that fertlizer is delivered straight from producer to user. In this case Co-op never has to handle the fertlizer just take a margin.

    I am in galway


  • Registered Users Posts: 963 ✭✭✭Count Mondego


    Those of you that use 500kg bags, do you find it hard to load the right amount? Granted you're not lifting 50kg bags but at least you know what you've put in. I know you could mark out levels but this varies massively between different types such as Urea and Can, straights etc.

    I just put out fertiliser to the nearest half tonne

    say I spread five acres well that's 100kg of fertiliser per acre ie 2 bags

    half tonne bags are useless for small areas such as 2 or 3 acres at a time, unless you are my neighbour who stands into the bag and shovels the fertiliser into the vicon for the sake of saving 5 euro a tonne.!!:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Sure we weren't your neighbour back in the day?! weapon of choice was old osmonds? orange detergent bucket and a knife s you worked down on side of the bag. Then you'd nearly always end up short.

    Ah, you should. The only thing to remember is that they may fall over. Bring a ratchet strap to keep them together.
