What NPK does FOM carry, and why is that a limitation?
sourced
The FCO requires total N plus P2O5 plus K2O of at least 1.2% with a minimum 14% organic carbon, so FOM is a low-analysis, carbon-rich soil conditioner rather than a concentrated NPK fertiliser. Its value is soil health and carbon - which is a benefit farmers have to be taught to price.
