Every bag or container of commercial fertilizer has a three number code that tells you the percentage that that particular fertilizer has of the "Big Three" nutrients used by plants.

Not so much this year. I find many of the fertilizers on the market have the analysis missing, or obscured so that it is really had to find. Miracle Gro is one of the worst offenders. I don't understand it. Are they trying to hide that information from terrorists. Other people have complained too, so It's not just me.

When I shop, it is usually on the run because we are down to one care this year and I never seem to have it. If my husband is with me, he always has to complain about what I am buying, saying "we already have that" (not true) We may have something similar, but not the precise item that I've picked out. I want those numbers big, on the front, right where I can see it so I don't have to scramble all over to find them. I want to be able to "grab and go" 'cause I don't have time to study it.

I think the most likely reason companies hide the composition is that you can get “Brand X” fertilizer of the same composition for much less. That is why companies like Miracle Gro try to differentiate themselves by adding “special ingrediants”....
