How do you had any luck finding it yet?

Lowe’s and Home Depot locations in my area have it in stock.

Not yet. I'm thinking about putting down Winterguard in November.

I was watching the Lawn Care Nut on Youtube last week. In one of the videos, the guy said the people are overusing it which is causing short supply in parts of the country. He says that people are using it as often as every month so the factory can't keep up with the demand. I'm going to change up my strategy once I get to the Carolinas. I will buy a few bags at a time to last the whole season.

That's triple the price. Is there a shortage issue in the southeast?

They're constipated in Milwaukee, too much cheese during football season.....


Springtime brings the prunes back, and Milorganite starts flowing once again...

Can't find it either at my local HD or lowes.

I typically apply it 3x per year on my lawn. I wasn't planning on using it now, but it's just curious that it's rarely in stock. I feel like I should buy some for next spring as soon as I see it on the rack, vs trying to wait and buy it a few days before I apply.

I plan on doing Wintergard in the next week or so.

My lawn is starting to go dormant. Frosts are regular and the leaves are falling pretty well now. Growth has slowed, although I think I need to do one final cut before changing the oil on the mower and putting it away for the year.

Lawn looks fantastic. I managed to thicken it up considerably, but lost a few large patches due to grubs. Ive since gotten them to grow back with new seed. I need to add grub control to my regimen next year.

Yes, same thoughts. One of my relatives works at Lowes. They check for it at least twice a week to come in the store. Nothing. Are you in the Midwest?

Welp, looks like i'm done for the year. Did my final mow (or at least what i think will be the final mow) and spread some wintergard out. Then it proceeded to rain for 2 days watering it all in nicely. Grass looks damn good right now. A successful fall growing season i'd say.

Now, it's just raking leaves until the first snow usually in mid/late Dec.


Need to stock up some Milorganite for next year. I have a feeling it will be tough to find next spring like it has been all summer/fall for me.
