Compost and Soil Record
Know which heap is ready and what has already been spread where, instead of guessing at both every spring.
Livestock and smallholding · LK-06
A free printable spray record sheet — field, product, batch, rate, weather, operator and the date the label's interval ends.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Record applications properly at the time, including the conditions, so the record stands up when a buyer, an inspector or a neighbour asks about it.
Farms, smallholdings, contractors, groundsmen and anybody applying products to land they do not eat off immediately.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Field by field: what was applied, at what rate, in what conditions and by whom.
The label is the authority, not this sheet. No product, rate, buffer or harvest interval is printed here. They are on the label, they differ by product and country, and applying a figure from a website instead of the label is how people get it wrong. Record what the label said and what you actually did.
How to use this sheet
Write-on lines: Holding · Year · Operator · Certificate held
Table, 8 rows: Date · Field or block · Area treated · Crop or ground · Product as labelled · Batch · Rate applied · Water volume · Wind and temp · Reason · Interval ends
Write-on lines: Equipment used and last calibrated · Signed
Because they are on the label, they differ by product and by country, and they change. Using a figure from a website instead of the container is how applications go wrong. This sheet records what the label said and what you did.
In many countries, for many products, yes — and there are often separate requirements for the equipment. What applies depends on where you are, what you are applying and why. Check locally.
Know which heap is ready and what has already been spread where, instead of guessing at both every spring.
Turn a season of odd handfuls and full trugs into one running total per crop, so next year's planting is decided by what the plot produced rather than by memory.
Get the plot down on paper to a consistent scale, so bed lengths, seed quantities and next year's rotation can be worked out in the warm.
