Fertilizer

These photos show the setup for transferring bulk fertilizer from the supersack to the fertilizer spreader on the back of the Fiat.

The fertilizer is a mixture of urea and potash.   The urea is normally a white pellet,  but they add  a few cups of blue dyed  "Nitrolock", which coats the urea pellets and prevents them from vaporizing in the sun and heat.  Then when it rains, the pellets dissolve, wash into the soil and  provide nitrogen for the plants.
