    you won't lose any of the N by mixing it with slurry/water

    If lumpy fertilizer is thrown into the tank will the slurry or water help break it up or could the agitator get abused from hitting it ? Or will the lumps just sit at the bottom of the tank .

    Urea is soluble in water. Stuff like pasture sward with P and K in it might be better to put it in the tank the day you are agitating. Any time I've done it I break the lumps so they are small enough to go down between slats.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Was it goulding? I had to send back the bottom 2 rows of bags on 2 pallets because it was rock solid.
