I posted about them in the past, but anyone else using in spring?

How much do you add per sq foot? I'd like to add as much as I can since I am going very light on compost this year (for disease reasons). I also don't have the luxury of rotation, so I get depleted in everything until I take a year off.

Thanks in advance

Yes, I have been using them. Around 50# per 1000 for me.

I put 200 lbs. on roughly 3900 square feet.

Yep 50lbs 850sqft
I like it because it is the first thing I put down of the new growing season. Mine should go down anytime now give it a few showers to start breaking down then till it under and spread a spring cover crop.

2 bags on 700 sq ft. plus 2 bags of sugar beet meal for the worms.

I used it last season and very pleased with it. Same application more or less as above. Grew just about everything except AGs last year and probably best results I’ve had in a long while.

Thank you all for the input... seems everyone is close to 50lb per ~1,000 ft. That's what I have used in the past, so might try more by adding some now to the cover crop, then again when I till early April.

26 West, definitely will check out the sugar beet meal.
