On the farm we had large areas affected by ‘scalding’ where nothing grew. Since spreading Manna Gypsum for the past two years we have seen significant reductions in the ‘scolded’ areas. Grass now grows on patches that previously grew nothing. 2016 wasn’t a good season, however where we spread a 50/50 blend of gypsum and glime we saw an immediate improvement in the growth of the clover in our pastures.
We have used manna GLime/Gypsum blend for some years. During this time our soil calcium levels have increased by four fold and exchangeable acidity is now about half of that before we started using Manna products. Our pastures have responded such that clovers now sustainable and are becoming dominant. Our cattle are responding to this dramatically improved state and our stocking rate is currently 170 breeders on 600acres.
