It would be great if I could fertilize this land before the next crop.
Natural and chemical fertilizers are high priced.

Option 1 chemical: 500# of 10-10-10 an acre would be a real modest
application. It's about $126 an acre

Option 2 natural: 1 ton of rock phosphate is $450. A ton of Greendsand is $460


Option 3 is a few goats, sheep, or a llama, maybe a mini-cow, pastured poultry, or pigs. With pigs, they'll till it up, add manure, take care of the weeds, AND give you meat for the deal.
