Concerned about
fertilizer costs? Well, gas prices are going out of sight!
I've heard it might go over $4 a gallon this summer!
You know what?
If you buy fancy coffee at Starbucks you are paying over $25
a gallon for it!
A week's worth of latte mocha grandes will set you back almost $40!
Now consider this. It costs money for fertilizer, but it might cost
a lot less than you think.
If you head over to the local Home Depot or Lowes you'll find 20 pounds
of lawn fertilizer going for $25.
Did you know you can get a 50 pound bag of high quality fertilizer
for less than $15?
Just go the same turf supply outlet that landscapers and golf course
maintenance specialists use.
In my neighborhood, that means the best sources for fertilizer are
either Horizon or Sierra Pacific Turf Supply.
Typically,
one 50 pound bag covers 10,000 square feet. So, an entire high school
baseball field could be fertilized with about 8 bags of fertilizer.
Or use one 50
lb bag today on a high school size infield.
Buy the
50 pound bags. You get more for your money.
And hundreds of people will enjoy a better baseball experience with
a better looking field.
For me, the baseball park is the 'third place', not the coffee
shop!
