    There was a fella in our area years ago very fond of putting other farmers fertiliser in his slurry tank. Had some serious crops alright.

    We do it with any lumps that are left in bags or bags that have gone solid. At least you know that its going out on the land

    But I thought there was a problem with applying slurry and fert together as the N is released and not absorbed into the ground. The chemistry is beyond me.
    With the cost of fert it would want to be a good job.

    Would be handy if it were ok.

    No! melting fert is hard to do even when set-up to do it!
    It'll sit as a sludge on floor of the tank. Mixing N especially needs lots of time/heat/ or powerful pump circulating constantly as N freezes(salting out? i don't like chemistry) for some reason other wise on the floor. Grand once enters susspension
