It's A Lovely Day In The Neighborhood

Hi Smart Red Raining here. I missed a good chance of going to get a truckload of cow manure.

Well...with regards to Miracle Gro...YOU try it first and report back to me. IF it really is organic they will go out of business.

this doesn't make sense to me... Miracle Gro is a pretty large company and unlikely to go out of business over the failure of any one product - but being the nerd i am i actually looked up their financials... last year they netted 60something million even after charging off over 60 million in expenses from discontinued operations.

I didn't even have to look hard to find this:
"Miracle-Gro is a synthetic fertilizer that contains ammonium phosphate and several other chemicals that can be toxic to your soil and plants. It is prohibited from use in certified-organic farming. ... Usually these fertilizers are also highly soluble, so they leach away and pollute our water systems, too."
