At least in the past, this was manufactured from mine tailings (waste) that had high levels of arsenic as well as several other potentially toxic contaminants. Someone mentioned a "new formulation" in a thread earlier this year, but - it's still a company that has sold heavy metal contaminated "fertilizer". Before you think it doesn't make a difference, with regular application the arsenic will build up in your soil, and that could make your property unsellable.

Isn't 1-0-1 so close to 0-0-0 as to be pretty useless?
I thought you wanted something closer to 10-10-10...

No, those numbers reflect nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Your not using this product for that, your using it for its iron content. Still, I prefer milorganite.

People don't use Ironite for its N-P-K value. Then again, people who know better don't use Ironite for the iron either as it's not an effective form of iron.

At least at my Wal-Mart (Morrisville, NC), they are clearing out a lot of fertilizer:

- Halts with Scotts Fertilizer - 7500 sq ft for $13 (and their generic equivalent for $11)
- Generic Weed killer $4.50 for 5000
- Battery powered handheld Scotts fertilizer spreader $2 (yes $2)

They did have Scotts 15,000 sq ft bags of Weed/Feed but that is tagged as both $25 and $35.

YMMV at each store - but this is the corner of NC 54/NV 540 (Shiloh Glenn).

Thanks for the heads up. I bought some 5000 sq ft scotts southern lawn food and weed and feed for $4 & $5 respectively from Brier Creek Walmart last year. So I am hoping to see those prices.
