Where in the hell did you get an idea like that?


Simple math, and I do mean simple.

24-0-0 will do 12,000 sq ft with a full pound of N in a 50 lb bag.

Is this your first year in lawncare, Bob?


I guess you're a politician since you doubletalk and dodge the issues.
You said the herbicide carrier dilutes the amount of fertilizer per
pound of product. It doesn't. There is just as much fertilizer in a
bag whether it has a herbicide or not. There is filler in every bag
and the herbicide uses up about 1/4lb of the filler, not the
fertilizer.

Double speak and back-peddle. You know exactly what I mean.

You said a full pound of N in a 50 lb bag will do will do 12k sq ft.
Since there's 12 pounds of N in a 24-0-0 bag, are you saying it'll do
144k sq ft?

I've already told you how many sq ft it will do, read it again.

And no, I have a hell of a lot of years of lawn & AG experience along
with a wall full of certificates from one of the top AG colleges in
the country. What do you base your lack of knowledge on?
Bob

The company I own treats around fifty million sg ft per season.

Now please be ****ing off, Bob.
