It usually takes several months for it to break down enough to provide any value, and that is usually about the time the cane sprouts in the spring. I know that you aren't supposed to apply litter within 120 days of harvest. This method has worked well for me for the past several years.<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Aug 25, 2016, at 1:37 PM, Scott <<a href="mailto:scott@eldercomputersolutions.com">scott@eldercomputersolutions.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div>I use Symphony Chicken Fertilizer (dry pellets) and Worm castings. Both are OMRI listed. I put them in my fertilizer hopper on my planter when I plant. Sorghum tastes great. </div>

Hey all, I am curious if any of you who grow sorghum for syrup ever side-dress their cane with manure (chicken or horse). I have never done this and wondering if it will speed up growth and/or maturation, as some of my crop seems to be lagging behind. We grow
organically, and so do not use commercial fertilizers. I'm in central Missouri and am looking at a cooking date of Oct.1. Any insights appreciated!</p>
