We also have a dedicated vertical spray unit for vineyards which is never used with hormone sprays
We can also apply solid fert via a spreader behind the ATV or as shown below a Quad bike. Here we are applying a powdered mix of hydrated lime and gypsum to clay pastures.
The difference an application of fertiliser to pasture can make a significant difference to your growth and enhance the amount of available pasture you have. This can be very important on lifestyle properties where space to support animals can be sufficient most of the year except during the low growth periods when the results may be insufficient to support your animals
Application of fertiliser in summer can have good effects on pasture
This was an empty Activse fertiliser drum rinsed out and emptied on our lawn in the middle of summer. We had 5ml of rain 8 days later and the growth where the drum had been emptied is clearly obvious.
Fertiliser application in in Winter can have amazing effects on your pastures particularly when combined with a growth enhancer.
On the left (above on mobile view) is a pasture recently grazed out in August.
On the right (below on mobile view) is the same pasture 8 days later having had seaweed flake fertiliser and Gibberellic Acid applied which is a growth enhancer.

Healthy soil and pasture means healthier animals, with the ability to run more animals, it means the vines you plant are healthy, not to mention the aesthetic value of seeing a paddock/vineyard/orchard of grass, not weeds. Soil fertility is about the capacity of the soil to provide nutrients to growing plants of the right kind in the right proportion at the right rate. We can offer you fertiliser and biological activators to increase the microbe activity in your soils and put life back into them.
Ideally fertiliser is applied in Autumn and Spring to take advantage of warm or warming soil and warmer frequent rain fall to support maximum growth. However we have had surprisingly great results applying certain liquid fertilisers through the low growth periods
