I checked out the "turf builder" fertilizers at the BORG. A Lesco bag
of fertilizer that covers 12,000 sq feet is $57. I would need 3 bags
to cover the lawn, so with tax that runs $190. Last year it was less
than $60. Most of the bags were covered with bird crap on them and
had holes large enough to spill out the contents. I guess nobody else
is buying either.

I'm seeing this with some other stuff that technically should follow
commodity prices. I think the biggest cost of making of fertilizer is
related to fuel. It should drop but I guess it has to get through the
supply chain.

Also you may be looking at stuff left over from last year if it looks
crappy.
