There is a bag of fertilizer in nearly every garage on the North Shore of Lake Michigan. It was purchased with good intentions. It may have been applied once or twice. And there is a reasonable chance it was spread at the wrong rate, at the wrong time, with the wrong expectations about what it would do.
