ProCare Natural Fertilizer

Or, "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Poo."
I saw this, for the first time for me today, at Home Depot as I was tanking the last of the Milo for the season.
It's listed as 4-2-0 with 2% iron in a 36 pound bag. Current price as per the Customer Service price check was $14.98. I see that my local Lowe's has it for $12.98.
Milo's (32 pounds, 6-4-0, 2.5% iron) is $15.98.
This currently still tilts the bang/buck ratio in terms of nitrogen, iron, and phosphorus toward the Milo (even from Lowe's), and the overall price per pound (important in terms of what ends up becoming humus later over time) toward the ProCare.
It's another tool to add to the box, but a minor one if you can't get anything else. The balance is still strongly toward urea, soybean meal, and Milo, in that order.
(Yes, I know that ProCare has been out for quite some time as I see information on it on Reddit from a while ago. It's the first time I've seen it in the wild, and actively advertised, though).

Although for me, the P levels are rather high in relation to the N. I'm already over the top in terms of phosphorus.
