This seems to be a sea-change for corporate America.

[OnlyTurkeysHaveLeftWings]

Is there money in it? Then the free market wants a cut.

Legal weed would make a lot of people a lot of money. Little Debbie wouldn’t be the only beneficiary by a long shot.

I’d like to point out that Scotts conducts random urine testing of their employees for TOBACCO USE, a fully LEGAL product.

Anything to boost that bottom line. Even if it means enabling despicable behavior and joining sides with scum. As long as it boosts the bottom line.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Not really. It’s still about the bucks. Big bucks.

[exDemMom]

Hmm. The question is, would it really increase the bottom line, or would marketing to the marijuana grower’s cause so many other potential customers to buy a different brand that it has a neutral or negative effect?

Putting neurotoxic weed killer on a plant that people will be smoking right into their bloodstream is basically serving them cancer.

They ought to be careful - the DEA has demolished hydroponic and lighting supplies businesses on more flimsy pretexts than marketing fertilizer to pot growers.

[DouglasKC]

I’ll never buy a product from a company that supports the legalization of pot.

[penelopesire]

What an idiot! What makes him think that people have not been using Miracle grow for decades to grow everything..including pot plants? He must be a brain dead liberal and just had to make some kind of ‘statement’.

No more Miracle Gro for me. These kinds of political statements from corporate CEO’s..turns me off..BIG TIME!

[Sherman Logan]

With consumers still cautious about spending, the retailers aren't building new stores as quickly as they used to, making growth for suppliers like Scotts harder to come by.

Makes little sense. Why would there be a direct relationship between number of stores and product sold? Are there large areas of the country where people can't find Scott products if they want them?

Looks like a job for Glyphosate, Paraquat or Red dye #22.

I have been using various forms of Scott's Miracle-Gro for several years. Initially for several years for raised vegetable and herb beds. For several years now exclusively, I use various forms of Scott's Miracle-Gro for Container gardening.

I use three feedings of the water soluble versions of Miracle-Gro Quick Start, Miracle-Gro All Purpose and Miracle-Gro Tomato Vegetable. I also grow all my vegetable and herbs in a modified gravel "water-table" version of the Earthtainer. There are free full and complete build instructions at the URL.

I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, Bok Choy, Spinach, pole beans, sugar peas, squash and culinary herbs with superb results. I use limestone gravel as an artificial water-table in the bottom of each vegetable container. I also use my own soil-less mix that consists of four parts Sphagnum Peat Moss, one part Pearlite, one part Vermiculite. I have had spectacular results.

There is a great PDF file that is free that describes all vegetables on the topic of Vegetable Container Gardening. I start my heirloom seeds in soil-less mix reusable flats at the end of Winter and replant into modified Earthtainers at the very beginning of Spring.

#8 cash crop in Washington in 2008, right up there with apples, pears, grapes, cherries, etc...

The Mexicans that are growing all that illegal pot and who have made the Gifford Pinchot National Forest a real deadly hazard for hunters and hikers will be overjoyed at this news...

[libertarian27]

What is this guy....stoned?

Miracle Grow will not hire and fires people for tobacco use and they want to get into the ganga market?

Ya, OK, hypocrites need fertilizing too...../not
