i have been "MINING" my soils for about 15 years strip tilling and i have yet to see a decrease in the strip on fertility levels.
Care to explain how your applying less than a crop removes and not "MINING" your soil?
He said. Soil tests do not show a decrease in plant available fertility.
If a 200 bu crop removes 70P 50K and your applying less than that i dont see how there is any way your not mining. I dont see how it matters if the product is placed in a strip, broadcast or dumped in a pile. If your removing more than your putting back the result is the same. Georgie also said he sampled right in the strip. I wonder what the other 95% of the field test?
