I AM CHEAP not only with money but with TIME. For me, it is easier to do it myself then to wrestle with the pros.

As to less than 1/2 an hour. I have my wife help so SHE KNOWS it is not as easy as she thinks. "LOOKS BETTER THAN YOUR NEIGHBORS." A wise wife-that is how she gets out of assisting.

As to SCOTTS. By law the ingredients are posted on the bag. You can find the same thing for far less. I just found 16-5-16 70% sulfur coated (long acting) nitrogen at $19 for a 50 lb bag at RURAL KING- a bit of math and that is 15,000 sq ft. HUM-wife might find a 50 lb bag a bit tough but...........
