    • Why does Scotts Fertilizer work so much better???
Style: Standard Size: 14,000 sq. ft.
After twenty plus years of fertilizing our lawn and attempting to save money going to other cheaper brands, I always come back to Scotts! It kills me to pay up for Scotts! But it kills me worse to use a no name brand and watch the lawn struggle. If I had to guess, the difference is the 'carrier material' that Scotts uses, onto which they apply the fertilizing chemicals. Most fertilizers are a hard crystalline base material that seems to dissolve extremely slowly. While Scotts is a more 'clay-like' material that dissolves rather fast, getting the fertilizer to the plants faster. It's most evident when the fertilizer lands on a side walk, after a rain the Scotts will be dissolved into a big circle, while the crystalline fertilizer pellet will still be setting there. The only drawback is if you leave an opened bag of Scotts exposed to humid air, the fertilizer will absorb moisture and it WILL CLUMP UP and WILL CLOG YOUR SPREADER! Rendering it virtually useless. If you get all of the air out of the bag and seal it, you can avoid this. ... show more

    • Always the best
Style: Standard Size: 5,000 sq. ft.
I ordered this from Amazon as stores in Maryland sell this stuff without phosphate. Since phosphate encourages root development, seed starter fertilizer without it produces weak plants. The grass I planted last year didn’t survive. By buying it here I get the “real” stuff. The grass came in thick and strong, and survived the summer. Great fertilizer! ... show more
