It is a good Greta. Bay and Paetare fertiliser on soils where grass and straw do not thrive. We manufacture 2-12-6 only for speciallnplaced orders. We make 3-15-6 with 8% Borax at an extra cost of $3.00 per ton. . We make 4-8-10 and 5-10-10 with 1% soluble Magnesium Oxide at an entra coat of $1.00 per ton. "Other materials" is usually Limestone, Sand, or a mixture of both. There is a limit to the quantity of Limestone that can be safely added to Mixed Fertilizers. We can make prompt shipment of well cured Mixed Fertilizers. and would suggest your taking delivery as early as possible.
