I'm trying to work out the rate at which my multifarm will consume fertilizer. The rate is listed as 30mU on the Forestry wiki, but it doesn't say over what period this amount is consumed.
If I am setting up a redpower timer to push an apatite to my crafting table (i.e. making 8 fertilizer), how often should I set it to go off to maintain balance?
The damage charts can be located here but I cropped them for you.
Mobs' health is measured in 'hearts', just like the player's. Chickens have 2 hearts; sheep have 4; cows, squids and pigs have 5; spiders/cave spiders have 8; skeletons, creepers, blazes, tamed wolves zombie pigmen, and zombies have 10; Ghasts have only 5 hearts. Wild wolves have 4 hearts. Slimes and magma cubes react differently to damage. Their health depends on their size.
Any tool not listed above (hoe's, shears etc.) will do normal "fist" damage when used.
Critical hits are as following:
According to the wiki page on Multifarms, the bottom is for output only. Inputs have to be piped in through a Farm Hatch.

The 30mU value you referenced is the amount consumed per operation. The frequency of operations is entirely dependent on the growth rate of your selected crop(s). The growth of crops is, by its very nature, inconsistent and randomized. Although it might be possible to work out a close "average" value, it is going to be far more accurate to build a system that supplies fertilizer as it is needed, rather than blindly sending it every x seconds. This could be accomplished with routers, or even just tubes and transposers.
