I couldn’t get past the first chapter of his lousy book “The Truth about Organic Gardening”. And Jeff Gillman, the guy who started this forum is a dumb ass motivated to sell his own crappy written books. Milo is one of the most compassionate gardeners and innovators the lawn and garden industry has seen in fifty years. I have seen this small company grow from a few nurseries to a national leader in organics. Earth for 20 years and have had nothing but the most superlative results. Earth, I really like your other products, but this one is an expensive loser. They really need to reformulate this product, possibly with more nitrate nitrogen, to give it some ‘desired’ results. area sorry, way too much for a lawn fertilizer, that doesn’t make grass green. At $60.00 for a 40lb bag, that only covers a 1000 sq. This product simply does not have enough nitrogen, and does not work well. As stated at the top of this page, a balanced fertilizer, containing equal parts npk, does not make a good lawn fertilizer. Would you? People want green grass period. If you tell your customers that you fertilized their lawn and charge them for the fertilizer and the grass doesn’t green up, well they don’t like that. Which is not a good thing if you take care of peoples grass for a living. It may have all kinds of good things in it for the soil, i.e microrizae, but it does not have a high enough nitrogen content to actually make the grass green. However, the organic lawn fertilizer does not make the grass green, and is very expensive. You can’t judge a book by it’s cover, or, apparently, a fertilizer, by the cute farmer-looking guy on the front of the package. And finally, while it does have a number of good renewable ingredients, it also contains bat guano and rock phosphate, two ingredients which are non-renewable and which damage the earth when they are mined. It is a “balanced” fertilizer meaning it has equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium - which means too much phosphorus and potassium. This product includes Probiotics - microbes which are probably dead when you buy the fertilizer - or which may not even be compatible with your soil. How can you not trust this guy? But as most wise shoppers have learned over the years, whenever you purchase a product you should look at the ingredients to see what you’re buying. Earth package I want to buy it! I mean look at it: Earth who can you trust? When I see a Dr. Earth and slapped it on a bunch of organic products, because hey, if you can’t trust Dr. Damn it makes me feel good! So it’s no wonder that some clever marketer thought up the name Dr. And Earth, what an awesome name! It makes me think of dark, warm, rich soil in the spring.

They’re supposed to be smart, committed, and loving, and most of the doctors I’ve had over my life have fit that mold. Most of us were taught from an early age to trust doctors (I mean the medical kind).
