850sqft, no manure this season, spring cover crop spread mostly for mud control hopefully it establishes quickly. I’ll till in front of plant as it grows, this worked well last year. Gypsum, alfalfa, slow release nitrogen and boron added as well.

Newer leafs have a slightly curled puckered and fuzzy look to them, they seem to grow out of it over a few days but it is concerning.
