Curious what you guys thoughts are? $100/ ton ain't to shabby. One ton has 36lb N- 28lb of K and P. But the lime in it and organic matter is cool also. The pain is spreading it I guess..What are your thoughts?

Not familiar with atler dirt but if your numbers are correct then fertilizer would be much cheaper. A 100lb of 15-15-15 will have 15lb of each N P and K. So basically 200lb will get you pretty close to same nutrients.
 
Chebuck, as for those three ingredients yes you are right. But it also contains lime, and essential organic matter to help build your soil quality. Your plants are supposed to be able to absorb a higher percentage of nutrients from it over conventional fertilizer. The biggest problem I can find is just spreading it. 1-2 tons per acre would take a good bit of work.
