Hello:
Just bought that Miracle Gro plastic sprayer that attaches to the end of
the hose.
Comes loaded with their miracle gro fertilizer, also.
No idea what the mix is in the fertilizer.


Hose end sprayers are great stuff, and a testament to capitalism. If you
can't sell your product to more people get your existing customers to buy
more of it.

Miracle gro is strong stuff, you don't need much of it, a careful gardener
who follows the directions and mixes the stuff in a watering can uses far
less stuff, which of course means Scotts sells far less. Scotts probably has
done research on the average number of minutes a gardener sprays their
garden. Combine that with an average rate of product consumption, and Scotts
knows every minute you spend watering their garden, you're using up N cents
of product.

Isn't capitalism great?
