I bought 6 bags today, 36 lbs per bag, labeled organic nitrogen, 6-4-0. $12.89 a bag, but that seems to be the price here.
That seems to be pretty much the usual big box store price here in NJ

I also spoon fed Urea twice and then the winterizer in early December. I guess ill use the 4oz rate of tenacity in about another 10 days or so . That will mean that I wi...

Bought some bags today, I think they changed more than the packaging because now the bags emit some sort of sweet aroma, maybe they are trying to be more wife friendly?
Was it on sale by you ?

Dropped my winterizer app of Urea down this morning over a little bit of remaining slush during a light drizzle. A few of my neighbors that were taking their morning walk must have thought I am crazy .

I’m still trying to understand why this is a problem... I’ve used the finer-grade agricultural stuff for years without any problem. You just need to adjust your spreader to deal with it.
