Spinner-disc spreaders are commonly used for applying lime and fertilizer to
agricultural fields. Uniform and accurate application of lime and fertilizer is essential. The
performance failures of agricultural materials can be directly related to improper and uneven
application, careless equipment operation, and the separation of blended material due to size
and density differences. The uneven distribution of lime and fertilizer can reduce yields. Effects
of uneven lime or fertilizer distribution are most notable in fields that are low in soil fertility,
because the response to applied nutrients is greatest on these soils.
Proper setup and calibration of application equipment is important to assess its performance and
attain satisfactory results. Even new and well-maintained equipment needs calibration checks
regularly before and during the growing season. This is especially important when changing
from one type of material or blends to another, when changing application rates, and when
altering speeds or other operating conditions.|

Gardening in Containers
Growing plants in containers differs from growing plants in the ground. Poorly drained potting mixture can lead to root problems. Under conditions of excess moisture and poor aeration, roots become stressed and are easily invaded by root rotting fungi. Under these circumstances, plants fail to grow properly or even die.
In addition to guidance on soil preparation, this bulletin provides information on selecting containers, planting and fertilizing container plants, a list of plants recommend for container gardens.
