What is it with this company? I buy a Scott brand rotary spreader back
in 2000 (its called the Easygreen 2000) but for the last couple of
years if I buy their fertilizer it doesn't even list my spreader on
the back of the bag! I thought by buying the Scott namebrand I could
at least have to avoid doing complex math to use my spreader properly!

Buy someone elses fertilizer and check the bag before you buy it. I
have a Scotts SpeedyGreen spreader and almost always find it listed on
other bags of fertilizer. If not, I just load it up and adjust
visually.

BTW, I think the Scotts lawn products are very good, but way
overpriced compared to alternatives. Plus, they encourage over use of
fertilizer/weedkiller, etc. Basicly, with their 4 step marketing,
they tell you to put down weedkiller all over the whole lawn at a
certain time, even if you have 12 dandelions that could be easily and
more effectively spot treated. Not good for the environment and not
as effective against the weeds either.

I live only a few miles from Scotts. They are not the same company they
once were and like so many great companies corporate management is to blame.
What CEO is going to care what happens 15 years in the future? Get the
stock up high in the next three years because I will be leaving. After that
who cares.

I would also suggest that their fertilizing philosophy is based to sell
fertilizer not really take care of the grass. But that is another subject.

They also have an interesting smoking policy. Stop or you are fired. I
hate cigarettes but I am not sure I buy into that.

I remember when that one came out. I am a non-smoker but I thought they
were over the top on that.
