I'm glad I haven't purchased any Scotts products!

I've used some Pennington Sun & Shade because I have lots of big trees, but some really sunny areas as well, and found a blend made specially for Oklahoma--supposed to be more drought tolerant, handle heat and humidity well, etc. Just put it down yesterday, so I'm going to see how it does before I buy anything else for the rest of my bare spots.

That's really crappy what Scotts did. I love watching the birds and squirrels in my yard, and found a rabbit is living in the back yard as well. Fun to watch all the activity!
