Nine percent of the product's contents contains slow-release nitrogen from methylendiurea, dimethylenetriurea and water-insoluble nitrogen.”
There you have it! Scotts is good stuff. NP&K baby!

Hey bartender!
You're good then.. Many box store ferts load up on ammonia based. Good for a quickie but disappears way to fast. We sell the crap out of our branded fertilizer. Enough ammonia to green up and enough urea to make it last. And it's even reasonably priced. What a shocker in today's world.
I wonder if our local elevators have a homeowners blend?

Yeah, Scott’s is a good value too. $14.99 for 5000 sq ft coverage. $1.19/lb. Cost me $20 to do the whole lawn.

Hey bartender!
Check out any ag vendor or coop... They can hook you up with some good stuff. Problem with most chemicals and stuff, you have to buy a 10 year supply! Smallest containers we have are 2.5 gallons on most stuff. About 10 acres worth!

Hey bartender!
I'm sure this will be shocking, but I'm having a bourbon and water.. Just had a nice thin strip steak with sauteed asparagus and a salad for dinner..
Now to figure out the fold-down workbench idea.. Completely out of available, free material...

Yep! On my 3rd one now...

It is shocking...how did the water get in there?
Just closed the skylight and upstairs windows. Wind is kickin gup now. I'll have cider with dinner after walking the dog.
Got my yard and the back nieghbors cut. Mine's a postage stamp size, theirs is a decent size. Pretty lucky, no need to fertilize the grass here. Put down lots of composted soil after I regraded. Had to carry away a bunch dirt. It was a lot of work but worth it.

I figured as much. I could have a BV and 7 but I need to drink up some beer. I have 5 more gallons of Shandy about ready to be bottled and I want to start a couple more gallons of Lager.

Look around and see if any of the neighbors left their garage door open. You might find some free material there.
Is that where you got your fert? lol

The wind kicked up here about half an hour ago and we got a quick 5 minute downpour and then it stopped, no run off. Perfect to soak the lawn and get it started on dissolving the fertilizer and soaking it into the soil.
Looks like another couple of rounds of showeres still to come, but nothing heavy.

Nope, but I saw them eyeing up my garage when the door was open. I think they were thinking of getting theirs from me!
Did I say postage stamp? I actually need to get some more soil in this year - the low spot has compacted a bit. Still drains good but want it a little higher so it doesn't pool quite so much in heavy rains.
Where did you get your fert so cheap. I'm sure you have a good sized yard. I need at least (2 ) 15,000 sq.ft.bags. I see they are like 13,000 or 12,000 ft. now. Same price as the old big bags though.

I got it at Walmart. 5000 sq ft bags for $14.99. Not sure if they had bigger ones, but my lawn is only 7500 sq ft. so I didn’t look.
Good to know. Thanks for the tip. I have seen that at Wally World but didn't compare the ingredients. Out lot is 100x200 and my sons like 80x300. I need a lot.

Be sure to subtract the sq ft of the house, garage, driveway and any paved surfaces or you will have a bunch left over.
Bs’ing about fertlilizer. Gotta love it!
