Forage Plus analysis - How much weight-wise needed???

[Spyda]

I am bagging up my samples for the mineral analysis but it's not clear in the gumph how much I need to enclose. Worryingly, the blurb sheet on Taking a Good Sample says, "Remember, the 300-400 gram sample that you submit......" Ummm.... I can't squeeze more than 54 grams of dry hay into the small baggie they've sent me to return the sample in. Is this enough? I've tried calling to check, but there mobile number is going straight to voicemail and I want to get the samples into the post ASAP so they arrive there by tomorrow morning.

At present I am also drying the fresh grass collection in the oven. How much dry-weight wise will I need to send for the mineral analysis?

I'm also having the nutritional analysis done and the blurb says they require 200 grams each of the hay and fresh grass (dried) for that particular test.

Bump.

Also, I've just dried the fresh grass in the oven and sure hope they mean 200g fresh weight - rather than dry weight as the HUGE pile I've just finished drying in the oven is only 120g in total

I STILL can't get a response from Forage Plus on the telephone so really don't know what to do
