Espoma Organic Holly-Tone 4-3-4
Found this for a price that was hard to pass up. Only concern I have is that the 'marketing' specifies 'for acid loving plants'. I almost hauled 20+ bags of this out of the store. Decided I should double check that I'm not missing something on the label that should have me steer clear of it. At normal retail pricing I would NOT consider it.

Re: Espoma Organic Holly-Tone 4-3-4
Depends on what you're going to use it for. For plants, it's a deal. For lawns, you'd have to apply it at 25 lbs/K to reach 1 lb/K of any of the nutrients. At that rate, the 5% Sulfur would be enough to start the "pH yo-yo".
I don't remember what your soil test pH was this year. If you did one recently, post the Sulfur PPM and the pH, please.

Hah! Nope (2) Vizslas. Will miss them dearly when they are gone, but they drive me bonkers. Fast as a cheetah, and they only give 110% - and the rest of the time are giant couch potatoes. If they need to go from one end of the house to the other to get a drink of water they run, walking is not part of there plan.

bought 25 bags. Spread tonight in 90 deg. heat. Dusty. Almost as dusty as gypsum. and STINKY. Won't use it again. The yard should love it. Wife. Did. Not.
